SHAH ALAM, Aug 24 — Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has denied the authenticity of a viral poster...
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has dismissed the authenticity of a circulating poster announcing a special public holiday to commemorate the state’s triumph at the 2026 Malaysia Games (Sukma). Amirudin made the statement on Threads, clarifying that any official announcement would be made during the Sukma closing ceremony today at Aneka Walk, Section 14, Kuala Lumpur.
He emphasized that all prior announcements or circulating information are fake and untrue, urging the public to remain patient. Earlier, state Youth, Sports, and Entrepreneurship Committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi had suggested that the government might consider a special public holiday if the Selangor team emerged as the overall champion at the Games, stating that the decision would be announced after the final medal tally was confirmed, as Selangor was currently in a strong position to secure the top spot.
