Principals given power to close schools over haze in S’wak


KUCHING: School principals in Sarawak can close their schools if the air pollutant index (API) hits 200 and above, says Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah.

The Deputy Chief Minister said it was the standard operating procedure (SOP) for schools to be closed once the API reaches 200, which is deemed very unhealthy.
