Emergency in Kuala Selangor & Klang

Darurat has been declared in Kuala Selangor and Klang because of the haze.

KUALA LUMPUR: Haze emergency has been declared indefinitely for the entire Kuala Selangor and Port Klang areas with immediate effect, the Government announced Thursday.

All work places are to remain closed except for essential services, food shops and supermarkets.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the emergency status was declared only for the two areas as the API had breached the 500 mark.

When will it end? Will it get worse? Those are the questions on everyone's lips.

It's a huge worry. In the space of just 5 hours from noon to 5 pm today, the API reading jumped 50% for both PJ and KL.
