The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque in Shah Alam, Selangor is almost shrouded in the haze.
As of 5pm yesterday, Port Klang topped the chart with a reading of 149 followed by Kuala Selangor (129) Shah Alam (120), Cheras (105) and Batu Muda (99).
An air quality reading of 101 to 202 is considered "unhealthy", 51 to 100 is "moderate" and 0 to 50 is "good".
The air quality readings in some other areas: Petaling Jaya (99) and Banting (95) in Selangor; Seri Manjung, Perak (92), Tanah Merah, Kelantan (88), Tasek, Perak (86) and Seberang Prai, Penang (84).
This is what I have read this morning at KFC (they provide free newspaper. Yay to KFC!!) They claimed that the haze was blew in from Sumatera. In Sumatera, there are some places called as hot spot (researchers could not confirm whether the hot spots were from forest fires or burning to clear new land in plantation areas). The Department of Environment's (DOE) has ordered a ban on open burning in all states in order to address this issue. "The haze will go during rains which will also extinguish the hot spots that produced the haze," Padang BMKG of Indonesia head Syafrizal said.
Oh well, no wonder both my roommie and I are having soar throats. I also couldn't see the view from my hostel window properly. Then, I'm gonna need to drink plenty of water and keep the windows shut for few days. I hope it won't last long. My Lord, I need rain!!
