Johor schools shut for two days due to deteriorating air quality

All educational institutions in Johor will remain closed for two consecutive days beginning tomorrow, according to a directive issued by Tunku Mahkota Ismail, the Regent of Johor. The decision comes in response to worsening air quality conditions that have affected the entire state. The closure applies to schools at all levels across the state as authorities move to protect students and staff from health risks associated with poor air quality. The two-day shutdown represents a precautionary measure to minimise exposure to hazardous air pollution levels. State officials have not announced whether the closure period may be extended depending on air quality readings over the coming days.
