Haze: Selangor to review follow-up measures on Friday

The Selangor government plans to review its follow-up measures against the worsening haze situation on Friday, stated Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. He highlighted that the decision would be based on input from all relevant parties, discussed during the state executive council meeting on Friday. Since the haze improved slightly on Sunday, it regrettably worsened again yesterday and today, prompting the review.

Amirudin Shari emphasized the need for comprehensive information from the State Health Department and other agencies to determine suitable measures, which could include assisting schools and monitoring children's study time to minimize outdoor exposure. Six areas in Selangor recorded unhealthy air quality levels with Air Pollution Index (API) readings of 183 to 159 as of 4:30 PM today, according to the Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS) portal. API readings range from good (0-50) to hazardous (above 301).
