TAM Gim Geam, 92, has been staying indoors most of the time for the past few days to avoid the haze, reluctant to go out for long to meet his friends.

However, thanks to Penang Gerakan members who went around distributing 6,000 face masks at the Bayan Baru market, Tam is looking forward to more outings with his friends.
