Five Sarawak areas record unhealthy API levels amid transboundary haze

Five areas in Sarawak are currently experiencing unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) readings due to transboundary haze, according to data from the Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS). The affected areas are Kuching, Samarahan, Serian, Bintulu, and Samalaju. This situation follows a report from Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, who stated that transboundary haze is expected to impact 19 areas in Sarawak over the coming days, as current wind patterns are carrying smoke from hotspots in neighboring regions into the state.
