“The haze is something felt by all other Asean countries. This is an unavoidable phenomenon. In fact, Singapore too cannot avoid it. He was responding to news reports that poor visibility due to the haze caused the cancellation of flights to Singapore and Johor Baru last Friday, leaving 549 passengers stranded at Sultan Azlan Shah Airport in Ipoh.

“But as you can see today, I thought the turnout would not be great due to the haze, but it looks like it did not stop the public form coming out here to participate in today’s Malaysia Day celebrations,” Muhammad Bakhtiar added.
