PM said in the cabinet meeting to decide whether to pronounce Oct 23 as a public holiday. The day is a lapse between Deepavali and Hari Raya and it’ll be such a waste if we all have to work.

Let’s all pray hard that it’ll be a public holiday on the 23rd.

Oct 23 may be public holiday - Taken from TheStar

PUTRAJAYA: The single workday between the long Deepavali weekend and the Hari Raya holidays may be declared a public holiday to enable Malaysians to have a stretch of days off, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.

The Prime Minister said the Cabinet would discuss whether to make that Monday a public holiday so that those celebrating Hari Raya could return to their kampung earlier.

Deepavali falls on Saturday, Oct 21, while Hari Raya is expected to fall on Tuesday, Oct 24.

“We will discuss this during the Cabinet meeting,” he told a press conference after chairing a meeting with ulamas at his office here yesterday.

Abdullah said he had also suggested to Inspector-General Tan Sri Musa Hassan that the speed limit on federal and state roads be reduced to curb accidents.

“I have asked Musa to discuss this with the other authorities,” he added.

He said it was better for motorists to arrive at their kampung late, as long “as they arrive safely.”

Cuepacs and the MTUC said making Oct 23 a holiday would also solve the problem of absenteeism.

Cuepacs president Datuk Nordin Abdul Hamid said the Government could always ask the civil servants to replace the day on a Saturday.

MTUC president Syed Sharir Syed Mahmud said that with a longer holiday, people could get a good rest.

Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (Abim) secretary-general Khairul Arifin said Oct 23 would be significant for Muslims as it would mark the last day of fasting before Hari Raya.

Over the last few years, the installation of airbags in new cars has become more common with most manufacturers now fitting at least a driver’s side airbag. A number of models also have passenger and side impact airbags as optional extras. Airbags are known as Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) and are not a substitute for the use of seatbelts. SRS Airbags are usually fitted on the front passenger and driver side. If airbags are fitted, the steering wheel cover and/or dashboard cover will usually have the words ‘airbag’ or ‘SRS airbag’ moulded into them.
