The more the merrier for hotelier like me!..coz more holidays means more extra bonus for me loh!
i can make good profits through public holidays coz thats the time, people will spend nuts for their holidays!
LOL..*wicked smile, grin while counting the $$$*…eehehe
No problem at all..
4 me, it is not the number but equal distribution of celebration so to foster harmony. it is all about balance
there are pro and contra for each desicion ..
for me it’s enough..as a multiracial country.
advantage for staffs.. holiday / triple pay.
disadvantage for 24/7 operation company…
i always want more..how about 20 public holidays…yahooo
The more the better but will slow the economy down.
i am okay with current total days. i’ll be grateful if my employer would approve Nuzul Quran, Awal Muharram & Mawlid as public holiday, in our company…. =(
I’m quite comfortable with current no. of public holidays however my boss do not declare 2 days (Thaipusam and Nuzul Quran).
I believe Germany has the most public holidays…
cuti cuti malaysia…
YAY!
