The announcement will come after the closing ceremony of the games on Monday in Shah Alam, state chief minister Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said on social media. He dismissed circulating posters announcing such a holiday as false.
“All previous posts and announcements are fake and entirely untrue,” Amirudin said in a Threads post. “Please take note and bear with us.” The closing ceremony starts at 8:30pm at Aneka Walk, Section 14.
State youth, sports and entrepreneurship executive councillor Mohd Najwan Halimi had earlier said Selangor would consider declaring a public holiday if its team won the overall title. The decision would follow the final medal tally, he added.
The state sports council said Selangor was on track to finish top of the medal table at the Malaysia Games.
