Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari has declared that Nov 18 will be a state holiday, in view of polling day for the general election.
At a press conference, Amirudin said this was considering how there were many Malaysians working and residing in Selangor, but voted in their hometowns in other states, according to FMT.
He urged Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to declare November 18 a public holiday nationwide for all Malaysians to make it easier for them to cast their ballots on Nov 19.
