He said this followed the instruction given by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to all Cabinet ministers to cancel their holiday plans and, if currently abroad, to return home immediately.

"I hereby order the same (cancellation of leave) for secretaries-general of all ministries and directors-general of departments/agencies, with immediate effect," he said in a statement here today.
