KUALA LUMPUR: There will be no automatic replacement public holiday on Sept 17 for the overlap between Malaysia Day and Prophet Muhammad’s birthday on Sept 16, the Prime Minister’s Department announced.
A notice by the Cabinet division said the Holidays Act does not provide for an automatic replacement holiday for public holidays that overlap or fall on the same working day.
“However, the government may designate another day as a public holiday if necessary,” according to the announcement.
