The worsened haze in western parts of Peninsular Malaysia and western Sarawak over the weekend is a result of an increasing number of hotspots in Sumatra and Kalimantan.

Although Indonesia denied the fact, data on ASMC’s website showed that hotspots in Sumatra have drastically increased from 52 spots on Saturday (Sept 7) to 206 on Sunday (Sept 8).
