Meaning of Public Holiday
Today was the so called worldwide holiday for everyone, the Labor Day. Somehow I still need to work. For me public holiday will only valid to those people who work in office, tutors, government servants, and some others. Therefore, not for people who are doing sales, food and Beverage and some that giving services.
One of my friend went to the police station on one of the so called public holiday last week (holiday in Malaysia) to get certified some of his certificate which he needed urgently to apply for local university. Guess what, the policeman on duty told him that it was public holiday so the police station got no other policeman to help him. Funny!!! When I heard this, the first day came across my mind was “does robbers or murderer on holidays as the policeman on public holiday???”
Well, since I started working when I was 12 years old, guess there are no such public holidays for me. Public holiday mean I can earn more on that day, because usually employer will pay double if working on public holiday. So guess public holiday will not be the holiday for me, but will be the day that I can earn more from my part time jobs than usual. Hmmm…starting next 7th May, I will started my Journalist job. So guess, after that, I might have a proper public holiday…
Since not everyone will have a holiday on public holiday especially today, “Labor Day”, I was thinking should we still call 1st of May as “Labor Day”?
