Haze getting worse in Sabah’s west coast


Smoke is in the air: Bush fires causing severe haze in Bongawan near Papar in Sabah.

KOTA KINABALU: Thick smoke from open burning and bush fires is causing breathing problems as well as stinging pain in the eyes for people in Sabah’s west coast, where haze is reported to be the worst in the state.

The situation worsens when the wind is strong as it fans the blaze which, in turn, causes bigger swathes of smoke.
