Public schools and state religious schools will remain closed for five more days from Monday, the Johor state government said. (Bernama pic)JOHOR BAHRU: Schools in Johor will remain closed for five more days from Monday due to unhealthy air quality from the haze, executive councillor Naqib Ghazali said today.
He said the decision was made by the Johor haze management coordination committee. The extension of school closure would remain subject to developments in air quality, weather forecasts and ongoing health assessments.
“Monitoring reports indicate that air pollution readings remain at concerning levels, with no significant improvement. The decision also takes into account wind movement towards the north and weather forecasts for the next three to four days, which will be considered before determining when schools can reopen,” he said in a statement.
