Malaysia yesterday declared a state of emergency in Port Klang and Kuala Selangor as PSI readings shot past 500 and urged mosques to hold special prayers for rain as a pall of haze from Indonesian forest fires sent pollution levels shooting into the hazardous zone.
More than 300 fires burning in the forests of Sumatra - which is separated from Malaysia by the narrow Malacca Strait - have stoked the choking, acrid haze, which causes eyes to redden and leaves throats raspy
Under emergency rules, Port Klang, which has the country's biggest and busiest shipping harbor, will be shut down. All educational institutions and government and private workplaces will also be closed, including factories, construction sites and quarries.
However, supermarkets, shops selling food and drinks, pharmacies and essential services will remain open. Road work will be suspended and the use of personal motor vehicles will be discouraged.
I dont think it has ever been that bad, goshe i hv problem breathing just looking at those pics. But its really interesting to know that mosques were urged to hold special prayers to call rain...ha! is tat the least they could do? what bout human made rain?
I cant help but to think about the health conditions of public, esp my family, my bro n step dad are both asthma sufferes. PPL PLS!! WEAR MASKS! i know it looked hideous , but it helps filterning those filthy air!
