Sarawak remains the sole state in Malaysia with unhealthy air quality readings this morning, with Serian reporting the highest Air Pollutant Index (API) at 189. The Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS) data revealed Sri Aman with the second-highest reading of 176, followed by Kuching at 157. Samarahan recorded 156 and Sibu registered 110.
Meanwhile, only 55 stations across the country recorded moderate air quality, while eight reported good air conditions. No station indicated very unhealthy or hazardous air quality. Schools in only two Sarawak districts, Serian and Lubok Antu, will remain closed until API readings drop below 200 due to ongoing haze concerns. The Sarawak State Education Department and Malaysian Meteorological Department together monitor API readings using the official APIMS portal.
Schools in 12 other District Education Offices will operate as usual from Monday. The Education Ministry and National Disaster Management Agency will soon distribute face masks to affected students and staff.
