PUTRAJAYA: Higher education institutions, especially those in Sabah and Sarawak, have been urged to closely monitor air quality as the haze situation worsens. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir instructed universities, polytechnics, and community colleges to constantly monitor the situation and adhere to government directives.
Zambry informed reporters that the ministry is closely following the developments and will ensure students' learning process aligns with government directives. He mentioned that if state-level closures occur, such as in Sarawak where several educational institutions would be affected, the ministry would respect those decisions. Zambry assured that classes have not been disrupted so far, thanks to a flexible approach that includes online classes for affected institutions.
The Air Pollutant Index in Serian, Sarawak, reached a hazardous level of 500 last week, leading to the declaration of an emergency in the district.
