​MELAKA, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- All schools under the Education Ministry in Melaka will be closed tomorrow, the Melaka Education Department said.

"The closure is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of students, teachers and school staff. The Melaka education department and district education offices in Melaka Tengah, Jasin and Alor Gajah districts will continue to monitor the haze according to guidelines set by the Education Ministry,” the department said in a statement today.
