Haze caused by hot weather, peat fires, says Nik Nazmi


KOTA BARU: The haze that is currently affecting the country is caused by peat fires and open burning, says Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Peninsular Malaysia is currently experiencing hot weather, which, along with the resumption of economic activities post Covid-19, contributed to the haze.
