Five day work week

Five day work week

From Suara Karya

I read a report in Suara Karya a few months ago that civil
servants in this country would have to work only five days a week
but their daily working hours would be increased.

As a civil servant, I applaud the enforcement of the five day
work week for civil servant. It makes me very happy and
encourages me to improve my working performance and increase my
sense of responsibility in doing all my jobs. Besides, I can use
the two days off a week to do something to earn additional income
to meet my household's daily needs.

As far as civil servants are concerned, I would like to make
two appeals to the government.

Firstly, please increase the pay of civil servants because it
is no longer sufficient to cover the current cost of living.

Secondly, since Fridays are Moslem holidays while Sundays are
Christian holidays, please shift the day off from Sunday to
Friday so that Moslems can devote more time to saying their
prayers.
