According to the Star, the only person who can announce a public holiday for the country is the Chief Secretary to the Government, Datuk Seri Dr. Ismail Bakar.
A special meeting to choose the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong will be held by the Malay Rulers on January 24th, and they will reconvene again on January 31st to decide on the date for the oath-taking ceremony.
