KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has declared Sept 4 a public holiday following Malaysia's outstanding performance at the 29th SEA Games.

The Prime Minister was teasing the crowd, saying it was not easy to declare a public holiday, as the crowd chanted "cuti, cuti" at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
