Smoke haze to be visible during Singapore GP
Darkness and floodlights will not be the only challenge faced by F1 drivers in Singapore next weekend.
Environment minister Yaacob Ibrahim admitted on Tuesday that the visible smoke haze in the city-state will inevitably be the subject of international media scrutiny when the Formula One circus congregates for the Formula One event.
He said the problem is caused by scrub fires and forest clearing in Indonesia, and said the Singapore government has offered to help Indonesia tackle it.

Hey, be careful what you say la, wait ur comments ignite international incident as seen here in the latest in a series of spats between the Indons and Malaysians
Malaysian FM to visit Indonesia to calm 'theft' row
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman will meet his Indonesian counterpart on Thursday in a bid to cool tensions triggered by accusations of cultural theft, a report said.
The dispute erupted in Indonesia in August after erroneous reports emerged that Malaysia had screened tourism advertisements featuring the traditional "pendet" dance of Indonesia's Hindu-majority Bali island. That sparked claims Malaysia had stolen a piece of its neighbour's cultural heritage.
The ad was actually a promotion for a Discovery Channel programme, but despite an apology from the network, protesters vowing to "crush Malaysia" burned national flags and threw rotten eggs at the embassy in Jakarta.
"The relevant (Indonesian) authorities had accepted (the explanation)...
but this small group refused to accept. They are blinded by whatever motive, so this is something we have to talk about," Anifah said.http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/print/1005286/1/.html
