  "account": "Johor police have activated 13 district control centres across the state to aid in monitoring the haze situation. Johor Police Chief Datuk Ab Rahaman Arsad announced the move, stating that it will facilitate continuous monitoring and coordination with the state government and related agencies. The activation, covering all 13 police districts, allows officers to work together to address the haze affecting Johor. Despite the haze, core policing duties such as public order, safety, traffic control, mobile patrol, and motorcycle patrols will continue as scheduled. Ab Rahaman emphasized that the welfare of police personnel is a priority, and face masks will be mandatory for all officers in the field. The police force remains committed to maintaining public order and safety, with rotating duty schedules to mitigate any risks in case the Air Pollutant Index worsens. Currently, seven Johor stations are in the unhealthy API range, with Pasir Gudang reporting the highest reading at 174.",
