Last update: 11 hours ago

Haze Crisis Across Borneo: Indonesia’s 2026 wildfires are worsening regional air quality, with smoke reaching Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines, prompting school disruptions and emergency measures in Malaysia’s Serian Division. Health & Safety Warnings: Sarawak declared a state of emergency in Serian after air pollution hit critical levels, while Cebu City suspended face-to-face classes due to unhealthy air. Volcanic Disruption: Anak Krakatau ash forced Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta Airport to stay closed until 23:59 local time, affecting about 270,000 passengers and thousands of flights. Tourism Push: Brunei’s tourism department is inviting stakeholders to submit proposals for Visit Brunei Year 2027. Digital & Business Moves: UNN signed agreements with Vobile to build AI-ready digital capabilities in Brunei, and Mastercard appointed Beena Pothen as division president for West Southeast Asia covering Brunei. Consumer Protection Alert: A toxics watchdog group condemned online sales of mercury-laced banned skin lighteners, urging platforms to block promotions.
