LSN Malaysia ·
Multiple states across central Malaysia have announced school closures for tomorrow due to worsening haze conditions affecting the region. The closures span Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Putrajaya, with additional schools shutting in designated areas of Selangor and Pahang.
The move reflects growing concerns over air quality levels across the region, which have prompted authorities to take precautionary measures to protect students and staff from prolonged exposure to haze.
Educational authorities have advised parents and guardians of the temporary closure arrangements. Students are expected to resume classes once air quality levels improve and conditions are deemed safe for normal school operations.
The haze, which typically occurs during dry seasons, poses health risks particularly for younger children and those with respiratory conditions. State education departments continue to monitor air quality indicators to determine when normal school activities can resume.
