KUALA LUMPUR: Parts of peninsula Malaysia and Sarawak are expected to be hit by haze again following a cyclone in the eastern Philippines blowing over the air pollutants from hotspots in Indonesia.

National Weather Centre senior meteorological officer Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said the areas that would most likely be affected were southern Perak and southwards of the west coast of the peninsula up to Johor and parts of Pahang besides Sarawak. – Bernama
