Sarawak recorded several unhealthy air-quality readings on Thursday, with Serian reaching an API of 204, classified as very unhealthy. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is expected to discuss the haze with the Sultan of Brunei during his working visit beginning today.
Why it matters: Haze is not just an environmental issue. It can affect breathing, schools, outdoor work and daily routines — especially for children, older adults and people with respiratory conditions.
