A newly sworn-in administration in Melaka announced a statewide celebration day for Monday (16 Nov), but legal and educational requirements mean many residents must still report to offices and examination halls.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh declared the special holiday today (15 Nov), immediately after taking his oath of office for a second term at Seri Negeri in Ayer Keroh.
While state government offices, local councils, and public schools in Melaka will close on Monday, two groups will have a normal workday and school day.
The holiday follows Saturday’s (14 Nov) state polls, which recorded a 71.77 per cent voter turnout across 28 constituencies.
