Schools in parts of Malaysia were closed on Friday (Oct 9) as worsening haze pushed air quality to unhealthy levels in 37 areas across the country. Amid hot and dry weather, thick haze continues to obscure Kuala Lumpur's iconic skyline, while respiratory cases are on the rise. Environmental and student activists are calling for tougher enforcement and a Clean Air Act as pressure mounts on the government to tackle the worsening air pollution. #malaysia #malaysianews #haze Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
