KUALA LUMPUR: The decision to declare a public holiday for the Federal Territories on Friday (Dec 3) following the victory of its Malaysia Cup team was not done unilaterally, said Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.

The Federal Territories Minister said that he was thankful of the team's victory and revealed that the decision was referred to the Prime Minister and the Chief Secretary to the Government .

"I'm not like that. The decision to declare a holiday was made after being 'pressured' by the people of Federal territories, so we referred it to the prime minister and he referred it to the KSN. And the decision made. Earlier, several opposition lawmakers, including Teresa Kok openly objected to the decision to declare a public holiday for Federal Territories on Friday , saying it was an abrupt decision which could cause problems to businesses, industries and schools in the capital.
