Schools to reopen in 4 states, Putrajaya and parts of KL
Only 14 areas in Peninsular Malaysia recorded unhealthy API readings as of 3pm, with Johor accounting for most of them.
Schools in four states, including Putrajaya and parts of Kuala Lumpur, are set to reopen tomorrow as air quality improves. PETALING JAYA: The decision comes after air quality in several areas, including Pahang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka, as well as Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur's Sentul and Keramat districts, has shown improvement.
However, schools in Kuala Lumpur's Bangsar and Pudu districts will remain closed due to continued unhealthy air quality. Education departments have advised schools to monitor air quality closely and take necessary precautions to protect pupils and staff, particularly those with respiratory issues or belonging to high-risk groups.
As of 3pm, 14 areas in Peninsular Malaysia recorded unhealthy air quality index (API) readings, while 48 recorded moderate readings and five recorded good air quality.
