The Malaysian Education Ministry (MoE) has ordered the immediate suspension of all outdoor activities in schools nationwide. This directive applies to gatherings and sports, and is triggered when the Air Pollutant Index (API) exceeds 100. The decision comes in response to increasing concerns about air quality due to hot weather and ongoing haze. The MoE aims to protect students' health amidst the deteriorating environmental conditions. The suspension will remain in effect for areas experiencing unhealthy API levels. Institutions are expected to prioritize indoor activities until the haze subsides and air quality improves. This measure is a proactive step to safeguard student wellbeing during the current environmental situation.
