  "account": "Schools across Selangor will resume classes as normal tomorrow, according to the state education department. The decision follows several days of rain that has cleared the skies of smoke pollution caused by fires in Indonesia. Although air quality figures remain moderate, below 100 nationwide, the department has advised schools, parents, and guardians to stay vigilant regarding air quality developments and adhere to any instructions or precautionary measures issued by authorities.\n\nParents or guardians who harbor concerns about their children's health are permitted to keep them at home. However, they must promptly inform the school of this decision. The education department has urged pupils to wear face masks as a precautionary measure, especially for those who are sensitive to haze conditions.",
