Johoreans happy with Friday rest day


Muslims leaving Masjid Jamek Bandar Baru UDA Johor Baru after Friday prayers.

JOHOR BARU: The day dawned with little din on the roads with no school buses picking up children and many people staying indoors because they need not go to work.

By the middle of the day, however, there was a lot of bustle in the streets with the faithful going to mosques for Friday prayers and ­others jamming shopping malls and eating joints.
