FMM said any last-minute holiday declarations will severely impact industries with tightly scheduled operations, particularly in manufacturing.
PETALING JAYA: The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM) says the government should provide legal clarity on Malaysia Day as an additional public holiday on Sept 15, warning that ad hoc holiday declarations could cost the manufacturing sector up to RM1bil in losses.
In a statement, it called for the prompt gazette of the holiday under the Holidays Act 1951.
