Write a short essay on the current urban heat island phenomenon in Malaysia.

The urban heat island (UHI) is a phenomenon in which urban air temperatures
are higher than rural air temperatures, owing to high thermal capacity of building
materials, reduced latent heat flux due to increased surface water drainage,
increased anthropogenic heat, and fewer open/green spaces in cities. The urban
heat island (UHI) phenomenon has been extensively researched as a key indicator
of the impact of urban settings on local climate. Furthermore, while there are less
research focused on (sub)tropical regions than on mid-latitude western metropolitan
areas, Malaysia, notably in Kuala Lumpur, has a rather well-developed literature on
urban heating. Sham Sani began these studies in the early 1970s, and over the next
two decades, he demonstrated the exacerbation of urban heating in Kuala Lumpur in
relation to the city's growing size, changes in the cityscape (for example, sea breeze
obstruction by tall structures), and worsening anthropogenic factors. Recent studies
have employed a variety of methods to assess the urban heat island around Kuala
Lumpur, including surface energy balance modelling, satellite photos and remote
sensing, weather station and temperature sensor field monitoring, and numerical
modelling. These research all agreed that urban heat island intensity (UHII) is
increasing, with estimations ranging from 4.2 to 9.5 degrees Celsius in the recent
decade. The UHII is higher on weekdays, showing the role of traffic-induced heating.
Urban cool islands (for example, around Lake Garden Park or within older and leafier
districts like Kampung Baru) are shrinking and, in some cases, disappearing entirely,
owing to increased traffic in and around these places. Due to the expansion of the
Pudu Sentral Bus Terminal, the city's warmest core is relocating from near Chow Kit
to the commercial neighbourhood Puduraya. Land-use/land-cover changes, such as
the growth in built-up areas and loss in green areas, have been recognised as the
key causes of the urban heat island in Greater Kuala Lumpur, in addition to several
anthropogenic influences. All of these studies concur that due to Kuala Lumpur's
urban expansion, there is an increasing urban heating problem. Thank bro
