SHAH ALAM:

All schools in Selangor will operate as usual tomorrow, the state education department said today, and urged pupils to wear face masks as a precautionary measure particularly for those who are sensitive to haze conditions.

The statement came as several days of rain appeared to have cleared the skies of smoke pollution from fires in Indonesia. Air pollution figures remained at moderate levels below 100 across the country.
