- As a fresh wave of haze blankets parts of their local Klang Valley, both she and her 12-year-old son have fallen ill this week with flu-like symptoms including a sore throat and cough.
- After her son ran a fever soon following an outdoor activity in school, Shobana now opts to stay indoors wherever possible, monitoring the situation as it fluctuates by the hour.
