The Sarawak Bishop of Kuching criticises the Education Ministry's reduction of the API threshold for school closures from 200 to 180 as a double standard, saying children, teachers and staff across East Malaysia endured severe haze for months under the stricter API 200 rule while the lower threshold arrives only as haze hits the peninsula. Tracked as a policy critique of the federal closure threshold, distinct from the state closure directives and the King's API 150 call already on the board.
