Indonesia warns against starting open blazes as haze from wildfires spreads to Malaysia

Indonesia warned legal action against anyone who starts open blazes due to choking haze from wildfires spreading across Borneo. The resulting smoke drifted into Malaysia, causing significant air quality issues that led to school closures in Sarawak and hampered daily life. These intense blazes were fueled by an intensifying El Nino pattern and illegal land clearing.
