A nationwide ban on open burning has been imposed in efforts to address the haze problem that has plagued the country since Sept 5.
"All parties are urged not to practice open burning or to leave their land or premises to be trespassed by irresponsible parties to cause open burning either for a specific purpose or accidentally," she said. Meanwhile, all schools closed in nine districts in Sarawak due to haze yesterday, were reopened today.
Among other things, people have been advised to avoid any physical activity outdoors to reduce exposure to the haze and to use face masks if they are required to be outside. The Environment Department in a statement today said the situation in Rompin was caused by a 2.02-hectare bush fire in Kampung Gading nearby the Rompin air monitoring station.
