Selangor has declared October 25th 2026 a public holiday in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the reign of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
State Secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin said that as the date falls on a Sunday, the following day, Monday, October 26th 2026, will be observed as a replacement public holiday.
The holiday is to be observed in the same way as the September 1 public holiday marking Selangor’s overall victory at Sukma 2026.
The September 1 holiday applied to all federal and state civil servants serving in Selangor, while private sector employers were encouraged to grant leave at their discretion.
"A total of 20 official programmes and events are scheduled to take place from Sept 28 to Nov 1, 2026, as a sign of loyalty, respect and gratitude from the entire administration and people under Sultan Sharafuddin's reign.
"All programmes have been presented to Sultan Sharafuddin, covering social and religious matters, environmental sustainability, infrastructure development and sports," he told a press conference.
Fadzli said the celebrations will be moderate, in line with Sultan Sharafuddin's decree for prudence.
The celebrations will feature three main ceremonies.
"These are a Guard of Honour Inspection with a 21-gun salute, the Proclamation of Titles and Oath-Taking Ceremony, and the presentation of Selangor State Awards," he said.
He said other key events include community programmes such as visits to orphans, the official opening of the Autism Friendly Park, the Kita Run and a Royal Tea Party.
Religious activities include a Yasin recital and prayer session, as well as the Multaqa and Forum Perdana Ehwal Islam.
Heritage and historical documentation programmes include the launch of special envelopes and stamps, a commemorative coin, and a book titled "Menjulang Takhta".
Sports events include the opening of the Selangor Polo and Equestrian Club, the Sultan of Selangor Silver Jubilee Cup Polo Tournament and an Under-15 Football League match.
