Haze filled days

Air conditions in the Klang Valley has deteriorated so much that pedestrians walking with a mask is no longer a rare sight. Even I myself have to keep reminding myself that I am not in Genting Highlands, and the air that I am breathing in is not fresh.

Yes, I am talking about the haze which hit Klang Valley for the past week, the worst being the yesterday and today. Government has declared that schools in KL will be closed for 2 days. Last I heard, Subang airport is closed as visibility dropped below 200m and Shah Alam and Port Kland have been declared to be in state of emergency. To qualify, your Air Pollution Index (API) needs to be above 500. If what my friend forwarded me is true, i.e. KL's API is above 400, then I am secretly wishing that we hit 500 and be given off for tomorrow. I mean, if we are to suffer, might as well be given offday to stay indoor rather than risk our health and go outdoor. 450 and 500 is not alot of difference, and not like if we inhale the air at API450, we are that much healthier.

Of course, if given a choice, I would want the haze to go away.. This haze is the worst I have seen hitting KL in my enire life.

Rain rain don't go away, come if you may everyday, we all need you for work or play...
