Haze holiday: A sign on a Subang Jaya school gate informing of the school’s closure until further notice


PETALING JAYA: Schools in areas where the Air Pollution Index (API) is above 300 must be closed.
This means schools in Selangor, Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur will reopen today. Schools in Port Klang, which recorded an API reading of 391 yesterday, remain closed.

Education director-general Tan Sri Abd Ghafar Mahmud said this was decided following a meeting at the National Security Council under the Prime Minister's Department.
