Johor: Decision on change of weekend not now


All ears: Mohd Jafni said the matter is being reviewed. Earlier Rashidah (pic, below), during the state assembly meeting, proposed a three-day weekend.

ISKANDAR PUTERI: The suggestion to revamp the state weekend rest days from the present Friday and Saturday will not be made anytime soon, says Johor Local Government and Housing committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor.

He added that it was because the matter first required the consent of Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
