KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 ― The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre has warned that haze will continue to affect western parts of Peninsular Malaysia and western Sarawak, as hotspots are expected to persist in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia.
“With the prevailing winds blowing from the southeast or southwest, transboundary haze may continue to affect surrounding areas including western Sarawak and western parts of Peninsular Malaysia.” “Level 3” indicates more than 250 hotspots in two consecutive days with dense smoke plumes; dry weather persisting; and prevailing winds blowing towards Asean countries.
Yesterday, Indonesia's meteorology body was reported denying that the haze in Malaysia originates from Sumatra, Indonesia, basing this assertion on its satellite data over the past few days. This comes even as minister Yeo Bee Yin said the fires in Indonesia are the root cause of the haze problem that Malaysia is currently experiencing, and that such fires need to be urgently extinguished.
