Selangor's got a holiday on 1 September. Whether you get it is a different question. π
Selangor hosted SUKMA 2026 and took back the overall crown β 101 gold, 73 silver, 71 bronze. To celebrate, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari declared 1 September a special state holiday.
Now here's the part filling up every office group chat:
β
Civil servants β you're off. All federal and state civil servants serving in Selangor.
β οΈ Private sector β it's your employer's call. The holiday was declared under Section 9(1) of the Holidays Act 1951. Section 60D(1)(b) of the Employment Act 1955 only makes Section 8 declarations compulsory for private employers β so this one isn't automatic. You're entitled to it only if your company chooses to observe it, or it's already in your contract.
So before you book anything for the long weekend, check with HR first. π
And to everyone who is off β enjoy it. Selangor earned this one.
