Kota Kinabalu: Malaysia is one of the few countries with so many holidays already, and now, the Government is mulling a four-day week, laments former Minister of International Trade and Industry, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz.

“Three days’ cuti, four days’ work. Does the Government have a strong dislike and aversion to having the people being hard-working, being productively engaged, working diligently and effectively on each day of the week whether at the physical workplace or on line, working at their level best in their respective endeavours, and taking only the necessary prescribed off days?” she asked in a statement from her hospital bed in the CCU Isolation Room where she, down with Covid, has been warded for the last few days.
