Recently, the haze issue has once again swept over Malaysia, with several areas experiencing unhealthy levels of air pollution (including Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, and Johor). This has also led to some people experiencing discomfort. Particularly in areas like Klang in Kuala Lumpur, Tanjung Malim in Selangor, Port Klang, Shah Alam, and Petaling Jaya, where the air quality has remained at unhealthy levels over the past week.
The haze has also resulted in a significant increase in cases of conjunctivitis (commonly known as "red eye"), asthma, and upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) in some regions. The haze looming overhead has shadowed people's hearts, especially as the rainy season approaches. Even occasional rain showers have not dispelled the haze, causing concerns about its adverse effects.
