The haze is back, and it's time to take your respiratory health seriously. As of the morning of August 13, 2026, the Malaysian Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS) reported that 11 areas across the country have crossed into unhealthy air quality levels.

Sarawak is currently the worst-hit state. Samarahan registered a concerning Air Pollutant Index (API) reading of 183, with Serian (182) and Kuching (176) closely behind. Peninsular Malaysia is also feeling the effects, with unhealthy readings creeping up in Johan Setia (154), Kuala Lumpur (131), Putrajaya (104), and Shah Alam (101).

With 55 other areas hovering in the "moderate" zone, it's crucial to prepare now before conditions worsen.

Essential Precautionary Measures

When the API crosses the 100 mark, the air is officially classified as unhealthy. Here is how you can protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of transboundary haze:

  • Limit Outdoor Time: Avoid outdoor activities, especially vigorous exercise. If you must commute or go outside, keep it as brief as possible.

  • Seal Your Environment: Keep all windows and doors closed at home and in your car. Use the recirculate air setting on your vehicle's air conditioning.

  • Hydrate Constantly: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body flush out toxins absorbed through the respiratory system.

  • Wash Up: Shower and wash your face and hands immediately after spending time outdoors to remove trapped particulate matter from your skin and hair.

  • Upgrade Your Masks: Standard cloth or loose surgical masks will not filter out the fine particulate matter (PM2.5) found in haze. Proper respiratory protection is mandatory.

The Right Gear for the Haze

During haze season, an authentic N95 respiratory mask is your absolute best line of defense when stepping outside.

Unlike standard medical masks, N95 respirators are designed to form a tight seal around your face, effectively filtering out at least 95% of harmful airborne particles and smoke.
