Smoke pollution from Indonesian fires has reached unhealthy levels in parts of Sarawak and the Peninsular Malaysia, according to air quality monitors. On May 27th, five areas in Sarawak - Serian, Kuching, Sri Aman, Samarahan, Sibu - and seven areas in the Peninsular Malaysia, including Larkin, Pasir Gudang, Tangkak, Cheras, Batu Muda, Seri Manjung, and Nilai, recorded unhealthy air quality readings.
The haze has been attributed to ongoing fires in Kalimantan, with smoke plumes drifting across borders and affecting neighboring countries. The Asean haze monitoring centre reported unhealthy to hazardous air quality levels in Kalimantan, western Sarawak, and southern Sumatra.
