You have an airport (SZB) and a port (Port Klang) forced to close, schools in an entire state forced to close, and 2 districts declared under a State of Emergency (everything closed except for essential services). Is that bad enough?
When I look out of my window, I cant even see the building across the street. You smell smoke everywhere, even in your own house if you leave a small gap in your window. Is that bad enough?
You have the API reading exceeding 500 which is the benchmark for hazardeous level, and numerous deaths from asthma, breathing difficulties etc Is that bad enough ?
Haze was never a problem prior to 1997, before the massive forest clearing and burning in Sumatra took place. And its not something that we should have to live with
