Ibu bapa dibenar tak hantar anak ke sekolah akibat jerebu

Malaysian Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has clarified that parents only need to inform schools if they are concerned about their child's health due to the current unrest situation. Speaking on Facebook, the minister acknowledged parents' concerns about the prevailing unrest. The well-being and safety of children remain paramount in any action we take, she emphasized in a Facebook post.

The ministry will continue to monitor the Air Pollution Index (API) readings released by the Department of Environment (DoE) and the prevailing situation, particularly in the affected regions. Any action will be taken based on the National Disaster Action Plan.

According to the DoE's Air Pollution Index system, Samarahan and Serian in Sarawak have recorded extremely unhealthy API readings of 236 and 222, respectively, as of 12:30 pm today. Forty districts across the country are experiencing unhealthy air quality, while another 25 are reporting moderate API readings.
