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
If you think smog in KUL is that horrendous then you would definately not want to go to CGK. KUL is paradise when compared to CGK in that department.
