GEORGE TOWN: The masks are out again, though the wearers are putting them on more to deal with the haze and unhealthy air quality.

“It is safer to wear a mask when we are outdoors now that the haze is back,” said businessman Wilson Wan, 52, who was spotted with a mask while walking on the street yesterday.
