Penang Public Holidays
1 Jan 09 – New Year’s Day
26-27 Jan 09 – Chinese New Year
8 Feb 09 – Thaipusam
9 Mar 09 – Prophet Mohd Birthday
1 May 09 – Labor Day
9 May 09 – Wesak Day
6 Jun 09 – Agung’s Birthday (aka King’s Birthday)
11 Jul 09 – Governor’s Birthday
31 Aug 09 – Merdeka Day (Malaysia Independent Day)
7 Sep 09 – Quran Day
20-21 Sep 09 – Hari Raya Puasa
17 Oct 09 – Deepavali Day
27 Nov 09 – Hari Raya Haji
18 Dec 09 – Awal Muharram Day
25 Dec 09 – Christmas Day
In total, Penang has 17 public holidays which 2 of it does not apply to me. I do not have Awal Muharram and Quran days as holidays because my company had to restrict the number of holidays. I bet Malaysia has the most public holidays in a year. Maybe it is because we are a multi cultural country. I hope all of us act like one.
Next year Chinese New Year’s days are not in my favor. There are no school holidays surrounding it and I probably have to take my son away from school to go back to home town. Do I have to write a permission to the school to do that? What are the school rules and am I allowed to do that? Any mom cares to share?
From next year onwards, I will have to plan vacations during school holidays and maybe have to rush with other parents. 2009 is not a good year for me as my company decided to cut back a lot of rewards because economy doesn’t look so bright. Most of us said, at least we still have a job or no pay cut. My hubby said, we don’t need so much money and he is right. We shall live as contented souls.
1 Tim 6:6-8
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

Yeah, we have the most holidays compared to other countries.
According to my hubby, next year will be the year of retrenchment especially in all the MNCs. So we have to learn to live frugally and not spend on credits too much.
