JOHOR BARU: Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar has urged the state government to study whether Johor’s official Friday-Saturday weekend can be implemented in the private sector as well.

Sultan Ibrahim said parents working in the private sector had complained that they did not have enough time to spend with their school-going children because they needed to work on Fridays.
