Najib first teased an overly enthusiastic crowd as they chanted "Cuti, cuti!", saying it's not easy to declare a public holiday
*"There are too many public holidays in Malaysia. But… due to the overwhelming support and the tremendous performances by our athletes, therefore, the government would like to announce 4 September as a public holiday,"* Najib announced to a roaring crowd.
Yup, we now have a five-day long weekend!
*The purrrfect long weekend!*
All thanks to our amazing athletes, who launched us to the top spot in the SEA Games by winning 145 gold, 92 silver, and 86 bronze medals!
