As of today, eight locations across Sarawak have recorded Air Pollution Index (API) readings above 100 — reaching unhealthy levels. Southern Sarawak, including Kuching, is being hit by transboundary haze from increased hotspots in neighbouring countries.

Len Talif said winds moving from the east towards the south before turning north are carrying the haze into the state.

"As of now, there is no schedule for cloud seeding yet. We will continue monitoring the situation," he said during a press conference at the Sarawakku Sayang Programme in Sarikei.

He also warned the public against open burning, saying legal action will be taken against individuals or companies found doing so.
