Haze - How To Minimized Risk 陰霾 - 如何減少風險

As of 10am on 23/06/2013 (Sunday), in Mersing, visibility is only 300 meters, the lowest recorded by the Meteorological Department.

In Batu Pahat visibility is at 600 metres and in Kluang and Malacca it is at only 500 and 800 metres respectively.

The Department did not have data on visibility for Muar, at which the Air Pollutant Index (API) reading has reached a record high of 746, above the "hazardous" level.

Meanwhile in the Klang Valley, visibility has dropped to 1km in Subang and Petaling Jaya.

Kuala Pilah, Negri Sembilan also recorded poor visibility at only 1km

Haze levels in Singapore have reached a record high with the country's smoke index exceeding the hazardous 400 level on Friday. Some have tried to see the humour in the situation but many are frustrated, particularly at Indonesia - but an Indonesian ministee has called the complaints childish.
