Adults welcome clear blue skies, school kids want haze back

After more than a week of ‘wheezing’ their way through the hazy air, Malaysians welcomed what they took for granted not too long ago - clear blue skies.

Not even one area in the Department of Environment’s Air Pollution Index (API) recorded unhealthy readings as at 2pm today.

This is a far cry from just days ago when visibility in most areas in the country was very poor due to the smog and many schools were forced to close.

The fresh air and blue skies seem to put most Malaysians in a jovial mood as many of them, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, took to the social media to share their joy.

Glad to see the haze situation improving throughout Malaysia. Clear skies finally in view again.

if there's one thing I would want to thank god so badly today, it would be for the haze-free clear blue sky and the clean air.

Look at the blue sky, full of clouds, so clear so beautiful! The haze is finally slowly fading away. Alhamdulillah! ☀

However, school children who were excused from attending their classes after most schools in the country were closed due to the haze, appeared grumpy as the air clears up.

All schools in the country which were closed due to the bad haze were reopened yesterday.
