Johor realigns its weekend


JOHOR BARU: Starting Jan 1 next year, Johor will revert to a Saturday-Sunday weekend, ending an 11-year period where Friday and Saturday were designated as the official days off since 2014.

Johor stands out as the only state in Malaysia where most private sectors, including commercial banks, observe the Saturday-Sunday weekend, while government services follow the Friday-Saturday schedule.
