Selangor has announced Oct 25 as a special public holiday (cuti peristiwa) to mark the silver jubilee of the reign of Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
“Since the date falls on a Sunday, the following day, Oct 26 (Monday) is designated as the replacement public holiday,” said Selangor State Secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin in a press conference to announce details of the celebration.
He said the special holiday would be observed in a similar manner to the Sept 1 special holiday marking Selangor’s overall victory at Sukma 2026.
The Sept 1 occasion applied to all federal and state civil servants serving in Selangor.
Private sector employers were encouraged to grant their employees a day off, subject to their discretion and taking into account operational requirements and the continuity of services and business operations.
Ahmad Fadzli said the celebration would feature about 20 programmes and official events, running from Sept 28 to Nov 1.
The full list of events will be available on the social media platforms of “Pejabat Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri Selangor” (Selangor State Secretary's Office).
Also present at the press conference held at Bangunan Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah in Shah Alam were Datuk Pengelola Bijaya Diraja to the Sultan of Selangor Fahrin Asmawi and Selangor State Secretary's Office division secretary (management services) Muhammad Hanafi Ahmad.
