  "account": "All schools in the state of Negeri Sembilan will close tomorrow due to deteriorating air quality conditions. The closure was announced by the Ministry of Education (KPM) today, following air pollution index (API) readings at three monitoring stations in the state - Port Dickson, Seremban, and Nilai, at 5 PM. The Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Sembilan (JPNS) explained that the closure was made to align with KPM's statement today based on the API readings at those three monitoring stations.\n\nEducational institutions affected must shift to remote learning to ensure the continuation of education for students, taking into account the abilities, accessibility, and needs of students and the preparedness of teachers. Teachers and members of the execution team are also allowed to work from home throughout the duration of the closure, prioritizing the safety, health, and welfare of students and education personnel. The JPNS, as well as district education offices and educational institutions, will continue to monitor API readings and take necessary actions according to developments and KPM regulations.\n\nParents and guardians are advised to remain vigilant of developments and provide cooperation to ensure the safety and health of children throughout the period of the air pollution incident.",
