KUALA BERANG – The Terengganu government will consider giving a special holiday on November 20, the day after the 15th general election (GE15) polling day, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
He said the matter would be discussed first with the state excos on Wednesday.
“Different states have announced Friday as a holiday because (migrants) want to go back to vote, but we (in Terengganu) have Fridays and Saturdays as holidays.
“However, we will see how to go about it, it should be done according to the rules and not arbitrarily, God willing, we will inform later,” he told reporters after an afternoon tea ceremony with the local community, which was also attended by PAS candidate for the Hulu Terengganu parliamentary seat Datuk Rosol Wahid.
Selangor, Negri Sembilan, and Penang have announced a public holiday on November 18, the day before polling day to facilitate those who wish to go back to their hometowns to vote. – Bernama, November 12, 2022
