Haze: Emergency status meant to encourage people to stay indoors, says Muar District Officer

MUAR: There is no need for locals to panic as the emergency status declared for the district is only meant to encourage people to stay indoors due to the haze, which has touched 750 on the air pollutant index (API) there.

Muar District Officer Abdul Rahman Muhamed Dewan said that the only main difference was that people did not have to go to work and students did not have to go to school.
