KOTA KINABALU: Newly minted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri will be in Sabah to celebrate Malaysia Day on Sept 16.

The celebration, however, will be carried out under strict standard operating procedures with only 63 people in attendance.

Sabah Yang diPertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor are expected.

Those who are physically involved are required to be fully vaccinated and take Covid-19 swab test three days before the rehearsal.
