JOHOR BAHRU: All Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Parti Ikatan Demokratik Malaysia (Muda) assemblymen in Johor have expressed their support for the move to review the Friday and Saturday rest days in the state.
Perling assemblyman Liew Chin Tong, who is also state opposition leader, said he hoped the move to set the state’s weekend to Saturday and Sunday could reconcile the different rest days between public and private sector employees and allow them to spend more time with their families.
He hoped it would also help the state government to create a better economic ecosystem, especially in attracting investments as well as reviving the Johor economy.
“This will add value towards a more balanced life for the Johor people and can have a positive impact on the efficiency and productivity of workers,” he said in a statement today.
Yesterday, Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the state government would review its weekend rest days.
However, he said the decision on the matter would be announced after the state government had found a comprehensive approach.
The Johor state weekend was moved to Friday and Saturday in 2014 following a decree by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar. - FMT
