JB Sultan declares Fri and Sat to beweekend rest days from Jan 1

so fri sat sun all weekends rates for jb courses?

GOOD !, the casino can welcome them.

they change their off day to be Friday and Saturday.  But golf courses will insist that Sunday is a week end rate.
Big deal, we play less, and see if they survive

Prior to 1984, Friday and Saturday weekends only applied to the public sector including schools but the private sector still kept to Saturday and Sunday as weekends.

Anyway, it's a decision that brings Johor back to the days when "policeman wore shorts"!!!!!!

[ltr]SINGAPORE: The Johor state government's decision to change its weekend days to Friday and Saturday from the traditional Saturday and Sunday, could lead to higher manpower costs, which could in turn lead to higher prices for consumers, said companies and stakeholders in Singapore.
The Singapore Fruits and Vegetable Importers and Exporters Association said goods from Johor Bahru may end up costing slightly more.
That is because workers will still need to work on Fridays to meet demand in Singapore, so workers will have to be given overtime pay.
The same concerns are also expressed by logistics companies as drivers will now have to be recalled on their rest days.
They said the challenge will be in coordinating work times and logistics, as the new rule kicks in just a month before the Lunar New Year.

The Johor State government has announced that come January, weekends will start on Friday instead of Saturday. And the start of the work week will fall on a Sunday.

Dave Ng, chairman of Singapore Transport Association, said: "The mindset of all of us is to work five and a half days, but you have to really convince people because from five and a half days, you are actually working one full week. So you have to change the mindset.

“We can look into alternatives. To get different colleagues to come in for the first 6 months and see how these things go and we will then see how we can adjust to make sure service is not affected." [/ltr]
