GE2025: Parliament dissolved ahead of General Election, writ expected soon; Nomination Day on April 23, Polling Day on May 3 which is Sat.

They can’t

cos the day before polling day is cooling off day so u also can’t be having the May Day rally

of cos the next question will be why not the following weekend? It’s not like campaigning period is designed to be so short. One extra week or even two extra weeks is fine

fewer people go to travelling this weekend, according to travel agents.

Polling day is a public holiday so company needs to give off in lieu.

[hctawsgs]

[wlalala]

[charleslee1989]

Public holiday lah... See when replacement holiday given by company.

It depends on company lah....

 

[Adeline_Weilas18]

2nd may will be PH?

 

[Otokiru]

Thursday is PH, then those who take Friday leave to go short vacation for long weekend must be damn sian... lol...

 

[8zaoyu]

Maybe this is their strategy....so less votes from sinkies....

Usually, only rich citizens got money to fly further than Malaysia.
The ones in SG ARE dependable on CDC vouchers!

 

[Coffeemate]

Depends on election results. If opposition win too many seats then maybe Monday got mobilisation so no need to go to work. If your unit is zbl the. Is considered holiday for you lo.

from MOM

"

Is an employee entitled to another day off if a public holiday falls on a rest day or non-working day?​

Yes, if the holiday falls on a rest day, the next working day is a paid holiday.
If the holiday falls on a non-working day or off day, the employer may decide to compensate the employee with an extra day’s pay in lieu of that holiday or give the employee another day off as a holiday."


So all it takes for the employer to fug your week up is to pay you 1 normal day salary....

[deathan9el]

[deathan9el]

they purposely put on a sat one. you think they will put on a weekday?

tan gu gu

has always been a Sat all along

sinkies here really have that short term memory

then will ask if the following Monday will be a holiday

 

[8zaoyu]

So mah huan, might as well got e-vote, so more sex-citing to see your vote erect or not.

 

[charleslee1989]

.....anyone?....

Depends on company....


They can pay you 1 day of normal salary and tell you to come back to work on Monday.....

 

[charleslee1989]

Not for all, some sme companies can give u bull and cock reason not to give off in lieu

by law, need to pay 1 day extra salary if dun give off in lieu or holiday....

 

[Joseph12]

.....anyone?....
