Oct 26 declared as replacement holiday for Selangor sultan’s Silver Jubilee

The Selangor government has declared Oct 26 a replacement public holiday throughout the state in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the reign of Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

State secretary Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin said the replacement holiday was declared as the main celebration and special public holiday on Oct 25 falls on a Sunday.

“As the date falls on a Sunday, the following day, Monday, Oct 26, has been declared a replacement public holiday,” he told a press conference at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building here today.

Fadzli said the Silver Jubilee celebrations would be held from Sept 28 to Nov 1 as a mark of loyalty, respect, and gratitude from the state administration and people.

He said 20 official programmes and events have been lined up, covering community affairs, religious activities, environmental sustainability, infrastructure development, and sports.

He also said the state government respected Sultan Sharafuddin’s decree that the celebrations be held in a modest and prudent manner, with a strong impact, and without wastage.
