Schools in Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Putrajaya closed tomorrow

All schools in the states of Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Putrajaya will be closed tomorrow, October 13, due to ongoing haze, according to Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. The closure extends to certain districts in Selangor, including Hulu Langat, Petaling Perdana, Kuala Langat, and Sepang, as well as Pahang's Kuantan and Rompin.

Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis, Penang, Perak, Terengganu, Sabah, and Sarawak, along with specific districts in Selangor and Pahang, will maintain normal operations. Fadhlina advises school officials to monitor outdoor activities for air quality, and parents, students, and teachers to wear face masks, particularly in areas affected by the haze.

The public is urged to rely on official announcements from schools, district education offices, and state education departments for real-time updates.
