Only two stations record good air quality as haze blankets nation

Malaysia's air quality has deteriorated significantly, with the majority of the nation's monitoring network recording unhealthy pollution levels. According to latest readings, only the Kangar station in Perlis and Langkawi in Kedah have managed to maintain good air quality, offering rare respite from the widespread haze affecting the country.

The situation has proven particularly acute in Sarawak, where multiple stations are reporting unhealthy air quality indices. The eastern state has been among the hardest hit by the ongoing haze episode, with visibility reduced and residents advised to take precautionary measures.

With 31 stations nationwide documenting unhealthy air quality readings, the haze situation represents a significant air pollution event affecting millions of Malaysians. The concentration of poor air quality across such a broad geographic area suggests widespread atmospheric conditions contributing to the accumulation of particulate matter and pollutants.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as the haze persists. Residents in affected areas have been advised to limit outdoor activities, wear protective masks, and monitor hourly air quality updates from official sources for guidance on safe exposure levels.
