Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers

Pollution index (Good, Moderate, Unhealthy, or Very Unhealthy)?

It is moderate, though if your walking along busy streets there is a lot of exhaust to deal with. - May 2009


It has been very reasonable while I have been here. Maybe a day or two of high haze. The pollution from cars and buses is annoying and quite noticeable while walking. - Mar 2009


Usually moderate, unhealthy when haze is heavy. - Jul 2008


Depends on the time of the year. Generally fine but when the Malaysian Government Palm Oil corporations decide to clear cut and burn the fields to plant more palm oil trees, it can be HORRENDOUS! Last year there was NO burning because it was the Visit Malaysia year. - May 2008
