Negeri Sembilan authorities warn against open burning amid haze risk

Negeri Sembilan authorities warn residents against conducting open burning activities that may worsen regional air pollution levels. State officials emphasize the practice threatens public health despite current Air Quality Index measurements remaining within moderate ranges. The Department of Environment plans enhanced surveillance operations to prevent unauthorized burning across the region.

Plantation zones and scrubland present elevated fire risks during the current dry weather patterns. Citizens are prohibited from all forms of open burning and must report any violations to environmental authorities immediately. Officials recommend reducing outdoor exposure when air quality indices reach unhealthy thresholds.

Regional haze conditions affecting western Peninsular Malaysia stem from increased fire activity across Indonesian territories. Sumatra and Kalimantan hotspots contribute to deteriorating atmospheric conditions throughout the area. State Entrepreneurship Committee Chairman S. Veerapan issued a public advisory regarding air quality management measures.
