“The hottest place in peninsular Malaysia is producing the sweetest fruits. It’s a bumper crop this year for Harum Manis, the most expensive mango variety in Malaysia but farmers are switching to working at night to escape the heatwave” – CNA

In Malaysia, temperatures of more than 40°C in the northern states of Kedah and Perlis have forced many farmers to alter their routines and work in the evenings when the weather is cooler. The hot weather has also resulted in bush fires in several states. The country’s disaster management agency is on high alert, monitoring 650 hotspots nationwide to prevent more bush fires from breaking out. Melissa Goh reports from Perlis.
