Izzul Azri Mohd Asri, 23, who lives in Shah Alam, said the N95 mask was difficult to obtain at pharmacies or shops especially in urban areas due to the high demand now. Meanwhile, Zulsyahmi Rahman,23, who lives in Klang also voiced his regrets at being unable to obtain the masks for himself and his family.
At the same time, efforts by some corporate companies in giving away N95 masks for free to the public and workers should be emulated. In Pendang, sale of face masks at a pharmacy here increased dramatically since yesterday, after the local community started taking precautions to protect themselves against the haze.
