ALOR GAJAH: Melaka plans to gazette the country’s Independence Declaration Day as a public holiday in the state, which will be announced in the near future, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.
He said the one-day public holiday had been approved by the state government, and it would come into effect next year, in conjunction with the commemoration of the Declaration of the Independence of the Federation of Malaya, which took place in Bandar Hilir here in 1956.
"I will announce the date of the public holiday later, after I obtain the exact date to be referred to from the National Archives,” he told reporters after launching the state Ramadan Rahmah Bazaar at BRR Pekan Masjid Tanah here today . Ab Rauf said that the gazetting of the Declaration of Independence Day as a public holiday was to remind the young generation of the country’s important dates and history, especially in relation to the country's independence from the British.
He added that the locations are Taman Seri Cempaka in Melaka Tengah, Pekan Masjid Tanah in Alor Gajah and Bandar Baru Merlimau in Jasin, with 47 traders voluntarily registered to offer Menu Rahmah in these BRRs.
