A spectacular phenomenon took place on National Day today as members of the public throughout the state observed a 22° halo around the sun, with many taking the opportunity to snap photos of it to share on social media.

The optical phenomenon was observed in Kuching and Miri, with double rainbows forming a large circular ring around the sun as early as 11am on National Day.

Vehicles were also seen moving slowly as drivers and passengers tried to capture shots of the phenomenon.

Wikipedia:  22° halo is named thus because the ring has a radius of approximately 22°, and forms when sunlight or moonlight is refracted in the enormous amount of hexagonal ice crystals that are suspended in the earth’s atmosphere.
