Haze closes over 2,000 schools


SMK Telok Panglima Garang is closed on Thursday and Friday. A security guard places a ‘closed’ notice at the school gate.

CLOSE to two million students in over 2,000 schools were affected by school closures in several states this week, following the worsening haze condition.

A total of 2,459 schools in Selangor, Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kedah, Perak, Negri Sembilan and Sarawak were closed, following the Air Pollutant Index (API) exceeding 200 in these areas last Wednesday.
