JOHOR’ WEEKEND OFF DAYS WILL BE CHANGED TO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Following consent and blessing from His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, and after considering the views of the Johor Islamic Religious Council (JAINJ), I would like to announce that starting 1 January 2025, Johor’s weekend off days will be changed to Saturday and Sunday.

I have decreed for the Johor Chief Minister YAB Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi and Johor Mufti to discuss and study every angle and aspect regarding this matter. I hope that the private sector, the government and related parties allow sufficient time and space for Muslim workers to perform Friday prayers accordingly.

His Royal Highness Tunku Ismail, The Regent of Johor
