Hazy Days Are Back Again

 

Haze from forest fire in Indonesia has been an annual problem that we Malaysians faced for the past couple of years. This year haze problem has start couple of weeks ago but the situation in Klang Valley is not so bad until today. I noticed that the haze is pretty bad today as the afternoon rain was unable to clear it. By the evening, it has turned from bad to worst and I took the pictures below just to show how bad it is.
