Dads welcome more paternity leave days

Muhd Nazri says each newborn has different behaviours and needs so each time is a new experience for parents.

Having a newborn baby is a momentous occasion but for some fathers, the joy and excitement are sometimes lost in the flurry to get things done in the short amount of time granted through paternity leave allotted by companies.

IT executive Nur Danial Ibrahim, who welcomed his first child – a baby girl – on April 14, said a seven-day paternity leave allotment for the private sector would have been beneficial for a new dad like him.
