Nilai: The state government, through five sentinel health facilities under the Negeri Sembilan Health Department (JKNNS), will continue monitoring haze-related illnesses in Nilai, Seremban, and Port Dickson. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun stated that JKNNS had recorded 305 haze-related cases as of last Monday, including six asthma cases requiring hospitalisation.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, current monitoring shows no significant increase in the trend of reported cases, and the overall Air Pollutant Index (API) readings have shown a downward trend since yesterday. Aminuddin expressed gratitude for the recent rainfall in Negeri Sembilan, which has contributed to reducing the haze, and he hopes for more rain in the coming days.

As Port Dickson MP, Aminuddin mentioned that there is currently no need for cloud seeding, although discussions might be held later if the situation worsens. The country is dealing with haze believed to be caused by open burning and several detected hotspots in Sumatra, Indonesia, as reported by the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).

Department of Environment director-general Datuk Wan Abdul Latiff Wan Jaffar noted that 66 out of 68 air quality monitoring stations across the country recorded moderate air quality levels as of 9 am, with the remaining two stations recording good air quality.

Meanwhile, Aminuddin reported that dengue cases in the state were showing a stable trend, with 104 cases reported this week compared to 74 cases last week. He mentioned that 25 active outbreak localities had been recorded, including four uncontrolled outbreaks and four hotspot localities requiring close monitoring.
