Johor has extended school closures for another five days due to persistent haze, with air quality remaining in the unhealthy range across the state. Selangor's six monitoring stations recorded moderate air quality on Sunday morning, with Petaling Jaya registering the highest reading at 89. Johor's Education Committee chairman Dr Muhammad Naqib Md Ghazali stated that the decision was based on current air quality trends and potential health risks.
Meanwhile, air pollution index (API) readings in Johor ranged between 170 and 180, with high concentrations of pollutant particles and stagnant atmospheric conditions potentially prolonging the haze.
