Air Pollutant Index levels as reported by the Environment Department today.

“Don’t go on with it, it’s not worth it. Find another solution, postpone the UPSR nationwide for two weeks,” he said in an online posting today after the government said pupils would be given dust masks so that they can take the examinations although the air pollutant index had passed the 200 point mark.

Najib said: “Should the government risk the health of the students when the government themselves recognises that the air is very unhealthy?” He hoped the government would stop the UPSR should the API index hit 300 points which is classified as hazardous. “We will wait for the reports on the latest developments from those on the ground,” he told reporters.
