August 4 Not A Public Holiday — Interior Ministry Clarifies

The Ministry of the Interior has officially clarified that Monday, August 4, 2025, will not be observed as a public holiday.

In a statement released on Thursday, July 31, 2025, the Ministry referenced the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days (Amendment) Act, 2025, emphasizing that the only recognized public holidays are those included in the official calendar approved by the President.
