“The public holiday, which falls on Nov 18, 2022 (Friday), is to be replaced on the next working day which is Nov 20, 2022 (Sunday),” he said in a statement today.

On Sunday, Ismail Sabri declared Nov 18 and 19 public holidays to encourage the people to carry out their responsibility and vote on polling day on Saturday.
