Public holidays can be celebration of commemorative day such as Independence Day, or celebration such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa and Deepavali, or to celebrate Royalty like Agung’s Birthday.During the public holidays, a lot of employees do not need to work. This is because they are protected by the law which is Employment Act 1955 Section 60D.
Every employee shall be entitled to paid holiday at his ordinary rate of pay on the following days in any 1 calendar year:
a. On 10 of the gazette public holidays, 4 of which shall be:
i. The National Day
ii. The Birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong
iii. The Birthday of the Ruler or the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of the State or the Federal Territory Day; and
iv. The Workers’ Day; and
b. On any day declared as a public holiday under Section 8 of the Holidays Act 1951
If a public holiday falls on a rest day the working day following immediately the rest day shall be a paid holiday in substitution.
Any employee who absents himself from work on the working day immediately preceding or immediately succeeding a public holiday shall not be entitled to any holiday pay for such holiday.
For any overtime work carried out by an employee on a paid public holiday, the employee shall be paid at a rate which is not less than 3 times his hourly rate of pay.
As a resident in Malaysia, I feel very proud of it because Malaysia has many holidays. And those holidays are having different meaning to celebrate it. This is not every country will has welfare but it is in Malaysia. Therefore, I feel very proud of myself because I am a Malaysian.
For this few days holidays, I wish all the Malaysian have a wonderful holidays with their family and wish all the couples Happy Valentine Day.
