The current weekend in Johor is Friday and Saturday since 1 January 2014

Since people keep on assuming my weekend is the typical Saturday and Sunday, below is the details on why my weekend in Johor is on Friday and Saturday. It has been 4 years already.

MUAR: Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar has declared the change of the state's rest days to Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday from next year.

The much-anticipated decision was announced during the investiture ceremony on Saturday in conjunction with his 55th birthday.

In his speech at the event held at Dewan Jubli Intan Sultan Ibrahim in the royal town, the Sultan said that  the change of weekend would take effect from Jan 1, 2014.

He said the decision to change the weekend holidays was made after receiving feedback from various quarters and to allow Muslims to preform their religious obligations on Friday in a more peaceful manner [1].

Till then, have fun enjoying your working day for those who are working and weekend for those who are resting.
