No cause for haze alarm, says weatherman


PETALING JAYA: Haze from Sumatran fires will not reach peninsular Malaysia, with the Malaysian Meteorological Depart­ment owing it to winds blowing from the country’s northeast.

“The forest fires will not affect us in any way because the winds will blow towards Sumatra, and thus there’s no need for concern at the moment,” said National weather centre director Muham­mad Helmi Abdullah.
