PUTRAJAYA, March 1 — The viral headline about tomorrow being declared as a public holiday in conjunction with the appointment of the new prime minister, is a hoax.

Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin took his oath of office as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, at Istana Negara, earlier today.
