Now, according to The Star, Pahang will be getting an additional holiday on the 31st of July in conjunction with the Agong’s birthday, which falls on the 30th. Pahang’s Chief Minister Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail was quoted as saying,
“Because these two events fall on the same day, the state government has decided to declare public holidays on both days to mark its importance.”
The Pahang state executive council reportedly decided on making the 31st of July a public holiday for the state.
“Hopefully with this, the people of Pahang will be able to appreciate and use the two days of public holidays accordingly, Insya-Allah,” Wan Rosdy continued.
