Haze update: 21 areas across Malaysia at ‘Unhealthy’ pollution levels

21 air quality monitoring stations across Malaysia have recorded "Unhealthy" Air Pollutant Index (API) readings, according to the Department of Environment (DoE). Sarawak accounts for more than half of the country's worst-hit areas, with IPD Serian posting the highest reading at 168. Elevated pollution levels were logged in several Peninsular Malaysian states and Sabah, with the lowest reading among the affected locations being recorded in Limbang at 104.

The DoE continues to conduct round-the-clock air quality surveillance and advises the public, particularly vulnerable groups, to track real-time updates as wind directions and regional hotspot activity evolve.
