Defending FT sudden public holiday, minister says ‘greatly pressured’ by KL folks after Malaysia Cup win

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 — After criticism over his sudden public holiday announcement for the Federal Territories, its minister Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim today claimed he had proposed it to the prime minister after he was “greatly pressured” by Kuala Lumpur residents.

“This is the 100th year. No one is 100 years old in this Parliament. This 100th year, KL has won the Malaysia Cup. The 100th time. Simply memorable,” he said, adding that the holiday is a way to give thanks to God for the victory. The University of Malaya’s Faculty of Medicine dean pointed out the Covid-19 crisis had already messed up the schedule for many health appointments, including surgery, but making tomorrow a public holiday would only exacerbate the situation as doctors were to sit for their specialist exams.

A stupidity move

Kerja la pemalas...

Pray tell which KL folks? It wasn’t me. Jaguh dunia I will celebrate. Jaguh kampung tak yah holiday

UMNO loves tai chi. Blame some one else. I am surprised he didn’t say DAP 👊🏽

And this is the one that idiotic.. Voters keep voting for.. Use brains and plese vote for one that does things releven.. to public needs regardless.. Whatever party

Glad Bank Negara was thinking when the minister wasn't. But it takes more than the central bank to undo the damage done by lawmakers!

FT KL folks demand that you resign! Pls feel the pressure of this demand and act accordingly.... which is to resign. Ok?

Meaning this fella is not genuinely givin this holiday ... If this small petty also like this ... Imagine abt development and bigger picture...

To deflect the pressure they are facing coz harga barang naik..for him n his geng makes no difference..

Hahaha.. hah tepukkkkk.. beruk!

Hahaha .. there is also great pressure for him to resign — will he follow through?

If menang worldcup malaysia cuti96 days kan.. cause worldcup started in1930. Assuming we qualify for 2026ans we win it.. so 😂😁😁.. 96days

🤣😂🤣😂....menteri palevuto!!

You work for fans or for KL?

Kasih pressure sikit Bank Negara Malaysia pasal cuti Jumaat esok

Kemenangan seharusnya jadi alasan lebih bertungkus lumus

Taliban after hearing this

All the few million of them?

Sokey... Pressure common commodity price hike OK pula? Harga sayur & makan price hike tak pressure ka? Sosio ekonomi issue tak pressure ka?

Spin

KL city team is a privately owned football club, not belongs to KL the govt, and what it has to do with Labuan…?

Tak cukup cukup ? Tak mendatangkan hasil! IsmailSabri60

One of my traits of a leader at the highest level is dealing with pressure.

Cannot take pressure? So ? Blame others for your own errors, what else is new? Simply declaring public holiday without looking at a bigger picture shows how short & narrow vision you have. Unbefitting a minister for the capital city of a country.

Ok. 🤣 LMAO How many, previous wrong decisions were made under pressure and deeeesires?

So KL folks pressure you to suck balls you suck balls? Menteri pe benda ni?

I don't see any action when KL residents greatly pressured him in bread and butter issues?

In bolehland, lack of intelligence is the greatest skill on display.

Lol...what a lame excuse.. public holiday for winning the Cup which is like a school league?

Go get a job that suits your school results

Expert says holiday for KL's win throws medical exam schedule into disarrayDr Adeeba questions if the holiday is truly necessary. Kita dah boleh hentikan budaya bagi cuti yg mcmni. Bagi parking free ke, bas dan lrt free ke lagi ok rasanya. Fikir cara lain lah sikit. I still remember during TDM time, Kedah declared a holiday also for a football win. The MB kena tembak & right by Tun. He told all CMs & MBs not to declare holidays at their whims & fancies. We've hardly started going on full swing after the prolonged lockdowns, and now this. Bg cuti sbb nak raih sokongan rakyat ke mcmane?
