They wear them when riding in scooters, which is perfectly understandable with the pollution of the city air and all the smoke from cars and scooters that they might gulp down. They also recommend, or maybe require, to wear them in the MRT if you have the flu —something also very sensible. I have seen people that seemed to be sick wearing them, and also some people seem to wear them all the time. Some are very ugly, others are the same kind you can find at hospitals, others have all kinds of designs, colours and figures.
But I don't know why, I cannot get used to them. Those who wear them all the time, come across as maniacs. And even, if it is a protection measure, specially since the bird flu outbreak, every time I see somebody coughing and wearing those pieces of wooly cloth, I wonder if they are not another source of infection.
Anyway, the weather has not yet been one to get many colds. We still have end of summer temperatures.
