> No holiday in Kelantan and Johor this Sunday
While Terengganu has announced this Sunday as a public holiday for the Hari Raya celebration, it will be a normal working day in both Kelantan and Johor.

If Sunday is made a holiday, the five-day holiday stretch from Friday to Tuesday would be too long, he explained.
