Xmas won’t be merry
This year will not be a Merry Christmas for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia Examiners making the English papers. We Will be having a coordination meeting starts the day after Christmas. Of Course, we will not be able to be with our aged parents or ” Balik Kampung” as we will have to travel back on Christmas Day.
Many of the examiners celebrate Christmas, so how can the meeting be held so soon after Christmas ?
Those who had to go for a kursus induksi ( induction course) earlier this year were also not spared because it was held from Oct 15 to 30 and Deepavali fell on Oct 17.
Holy Saturday, which is a day after Good Friday, is an Easter holiday usually celebrated in April. Instead of preparing for Easter at home, teachers will be at school for the nationwide ” Gotong -Royong Perdana”.
This year, Holy Saturday was a school day because it was a replacement day for Hari Raya which was in September. We hope this unhappy situation can be rectified.
