The government has agreed that July 8 will made a special holiday for the public service if Hari Raya falls on July 6, chief secretary to the government Ali Hamsa said.

He, however, said the special holiday will not be allocated if Hari Raya commences on July 5.

"I wish to thank prime minister (Najib Abdul Razak) for approving the suggestion mooted by the civil servants, especially by Cuepacs (Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services)," he said in a statement today.
