Learning - Consumers are willing to participate

- Digital Media

• Short attention span of audience

• Too much clutter – difficult to compete in a digital world

• Simplify the message

- Barriers to participation

• Scanning of QR

• Downloading of application

• Trade – no smartphones/non-techie

- Consumers need bribe/reward to participate

- NGOs

• Need to be more proactive

• Approach them early to lock activation

- Strong support from countries affected by haze – SG and MY
