Thick haze suffocates Penang again

Looks like Penangites will have to endure thick haze as it thickens everyday. This video was taken from a hill top at Paya Terubong, Penang. The thick haze has partially made Georgetown disappear from view and if this continues to worsen, an hourly air quality index report should be provided to the public by the related authorities.

Those with breathing problems should stay indoor, especially children.

Penangites Choke On Haze

CJ Jimmy Leow asked hikers at Youth Park, Penang what they think about the haze "season" which was set upon them again by the open burning from neighbouring country. It seems to be a yearly affair since the 90's, will we ever see a stop to this irresponsible act from the related parties. Or are we going to continue to choke on ashes year after year..
