Selangor isytihar 1 Sept cuti peristiwa selepas juarai Sukma

Menteri Besar Selangor, Amirudin Shari, announced a special event holiday on the 1st of September following Selangor's impressive performance at the 2026 Malaysia National Games (Sukma). The state, which secured 101 gold medals, 73 silver and 71 bronze, has been recognized for the contributions of its athletes, officials, volunteers, and parents to their success.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of Sukma at Aneka Walk, Amirudin expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all those who played a part in the achievements. Present at the event were the Crown Prince of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin, and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Amirudin clarified that Sukma is not merely a sports event, but a platform that offers young athletes the opportunity to change perspectives, gain life experiences, and forge new friendships across different communities and religions. The true essence of being a Malaysian, he explained, lies in this spirit. Sukma began on August 15 and has continued until today.
