General : PSRA Might Be Postponed If Haze Worsens In Selangor - Amirudin
SHAH ALAM, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- The Selangor state government might postpone the Primary Religious School Assessment (PSRA) next week if the haze worsens in the state.
Selangor's Chief Minister Amirudin Shari indicated on Tuesday that the state may postpone the Primary Religious School Assessment (PSRA) if the haze situation worsens. The decision will be based on the meteorological report and environmental conditions. Six areas in Selangor are currently experiencing unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) readings; Johan Setia has the highest reading at 188.
The government has laid out criteria for responding to the haze, including closing schools if API readings exceed 200, and seeking emergency measures if it reaches 300. Free face masks are being distributed to students in the state. Amirudin is also awaiting an audit of risky drains in Selangor, following a recent case of children drowning in Puncak Alam.
The Kuala Selangor Municipal Council has been asked to submit an immediate report and take action to cover the drain.
