KUALA TERENGGANU: A light haze has descended on the city, as the air pollution index (API) reading here rose to 115 as of noon today, compared to 112 at 8am.
The Department of Environment said it expects the reading to rise further as the day progresses.
Despite the air pollution, local residents flocked to the iconic new Terengganu Drawbridge, which was open to the public yesterday, for the chance to take pictures.
“It is slightly hazy, but the conditions did not prevent me from taking my family for a walkabout along the beach near the drawbridge,” said Adali Mohamed, a teacher from Kuala Berang in Hulu Terengganu.
