If you see the number of days given as leave in Sri Lanka, Pakistan is much better and workwise majority of Sri Lankans are idlers.

Mr. vijay, you are very biased person. only Zuhar prayer comes during working hours and it takes only 10 minutes to offer it. Hats off to Dawn. I want to ask Mr. Vijay, give me one example of an Indian news paper which will post my comments about “puja”.

This year, December has 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays.
This only happens once every 824 years.

No comparison with Malaysia. They have so many holidays that we need a calender to keep track of them. Starts with Chinese new year(2 days), Thai Pusan, Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) birthday, Easter, Diwali, Malay king birthday and birthday of king of each province( 12 all together), eid’s , Christmas , hajj new year and muharam and almost forgot 2 in ramazan. For schools some of the above are for a full week. additionally if a holiday falls on weekend then the days after the weekend is a replacement holiday.
I am sure i missed few

Pakistanis dont work. The article by Abro is dead on. How can you prosper when you are having half the year off.
