JOHOR BARU: Schools in the three haze-hit districts – Pontian, Muar and Tangkak – will remain closed until the air quality improves.
Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal said the schools in these districts would be closed until the Air Pollutant Index readings for the areas were less than 200.
State Tourism, Women, Family, and Community Development Committee chairman Liow Cai Tung said many tourists visiting Johor were staying indoors due to the haze.“Quite a number of tourists have also headed to Desaru for the Johor Bike Week and for the beaches as the area recorded a lower API reading.”
Unlike the central states, the weekend rest days in Johor are Fridays and Saturdays while Sunday is a working day.
