Churches urged to hold prayers (Aug 13)
PETALING JAYA: In view of the hazardous haze affecting many parts of the country, the Christian Federation of Malaysia has urged all churches to hold special prayers for a change in the weather to clear the haze.
The holding of the prayers is also in response to the call by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, said Bishop Dr Paul Tan, chairman of the federation.
“In prayer, we also implore the Government to make greater efforts to protect those most vulnerable to the bad air, like children, the elderly and those who are sick.
Goodbye haze, welcome rain (Aug 15)
PETALING JAYA: Many Malaysians finally had the chance to breathe fresh air after putting up with the severe haze the past week.
Rain in several states helped wash away the smog and brought much-needed respite to the people who didn’t mind setting aside their face masks for umbrellas.
Heavy rain fell in various parts of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya in the afternoon, lasting two hours.
The improvement in air quality allowed schools in the Klang Valley and other parts of Selangor to reopen today, following their closure late last week.
According to the Meteorological Services Department, the rain was natural and not the result of cloud seeding.
