The hazy is an annual affair in Malaysia, affecting both East & Peninsular Malaysia... Each year, uncontrolled slash-and-burn practices by famers, plantation owners and loggers in Sumatra and Kalimantan (both islands in Indonesia and bordering Malaysia) send haze into neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Thailand... The annual haze phenomenon is at its worst during the dry season from July to October... Where the hazy will cover is dependent on the direction of the wind... It can go as far as the Pacific islands... The air quality is measured by the air pollution index... with the following reading indications: 000 - 050 ~ good
051 - 100 ~ moderate
101 - 200 ~ unhealthy201 - 300 ~ very unhealthy
> 301 ~ hazardousThe poor air quality will result in increases in acute respiratory tract infection, asthma and conjunctivitis... The public are advised to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities until the air quality improved... They are also advised to drink a lot of water...

Jay walking is an offence in Malaysia... so use the pedestrian bridge when you wish to cross the road... although you can be fined (on the spot) of MYR200 if you are caught crossing the road within 100m of a pedestrian bridge, it is seldom enforced... but for your own safety please do use the pedestrian bridge... for Malaysian drivers are mainly ex-F1 drivers... so beware...
