Saturday and Sunday

[edit]

"And also every Saturday and Sunday is a public holiday in which Government agencies are closed."

I'm changing this. By standard definition Holiday is a special day, not the weekend. Fanra 10:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update for 2010 Calendar

[edit]

This article should be updated to reflect the holiday calendar for 2010. Unless there are any objections, I'll do it this weekend and use the information from the following sources: [1] [2]

I'll put the state holidays into a chart as well. Grandhistorian (talk) 01:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is done now. Someone feel free to double check my work though. Grandhistorian (talk) 06:55, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake

[edit]

There is a mistake on 'Hari Raya Haji' --Rochelimit (talk) 03:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

English

[edit]

Since this is an English Wikipedia, why not using only the English version of the name of the holiday. The way it is arranged now, with double names, double links, etc., makes the article looks redundant. --Rochelimit (talk) 03:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
