JOHOR BARU: Two private religious schools in the state have decided to suspend classes after 50% of its students started suffering from fever.

SR Islam Hidayah and SM Islam Hidayah in Kampung Sinaran Baru, Skudai, decided on the precautionary measure despite no reported influenza A (H1N1) cases there.

A visit to the schools found that a notice had been pasted at the entrance informing visitors that they were closed from yesterday until next Monday.

The notice was issued by the board of trustees for both schools.

Board chairman Prof Dr Noor Azlan Ahmad Zanzali said the closure of both schools was not on the instruction of the state Health Department.

“The school authorities and the parents of the children were concerned as many of the them, including the teachers, were down with fever.

The schools have a total enrolment of 1,600 students, he added.

He said health officials had inspected the schools earlier but found it free of H1N1.
