Schools around Malaysia are already temporarily suspending classes as and AQI this high transformes a usually safe place to learn into an environment hazardous to our health. As IGBIS is a very open school where only the classrooms are relatively protected form air pollution, I no longer feel safe coming to school. This is also a concern to students such as myself who experience lung problems and asthma. I think it is insane to send students to school when the API is as high as 191 and risking our health is not the right thing to do in this situation.

Once Children Cannot get out from class rooms ie when Index reaches, 150 it is not a school anymore but more like a detention centre.

I have really sensitive lungs and I'm scared if it attacks my respiratory system because I feel light headed in school and not just me but most of people, we can see the haze even in the classrooms (not as bad as the haze outside but still)

The air is not healthy for students to attend school, espacially for the young kindergarten and elementary students :(

The haze is severely affecting the health of students and they don't even have the chance to have their normal physical education classes anymore. Plus, we all know that we'll still be exposed to the haze even when we're sitting inside as the air-conditioners will just treat the polluted air to give polluted air. I think that school should be closed until further notice.

School is definitely important, but it should not come at a health risk, the pollution has only gotten worse over the last few days. I believe shutting down the school till it improves is important.

I know people seriously considering not going to school over health concerns. This needs to stop, suspend school.
