Educational institutions across Selangor and Melaka will remain closed tomorrow due to worsening air quality from regional haze. The closures follow a similar decision by the Negeri Sembilan education department.

Schools in Selangor and Melaka have been ordered to shut their doors tomorrow as hazardous air conditions continue to affect the region. The decision reflects growing concerns over air quality levels that have deteriorated significantly in recent days.
The Negeri Sembilan education department had announced school closures in that state earlier, prompting neighbouring authorities to take similar precautionary measures. The move aims to protect students and staff from prolonged exposure to poor air quality.
The haze situation has prompted multiple state education departments to reassess operating conditions. Parents and educators in the affected states are advised to monitor further announcements regarding school operations as air quality conditions evolve.
School closures due to haze are implemented when air quality indices reach levels deemed hazardous for children and vulnerable populations. Officials typically coordinate with meteorological services to determine when conditions warrant suspension of face-to-face learning activities.
