On Friday, authorities in Malaysia canceled classes across four states and the capital city of Kuala Lumpur due to intense atmospheric pollution. The severe smog was caused by toxic smoke drifting from ongoing forest fires in Indonesia that have been burning for weeks.
The hazardous haze also blanketed neighboring Singapore, leading to air quality levels categorized as very unhealthy. The disruption prompted immediate government intervention in Malaysia, led by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, to protect students from the dangerous environmental conditions.
