However, the burning question on everyone’s mind is the status of Eid Al Fitr holidays for the private sector. While the public sector revels in the forthcoming extended weekend, private sector workers remain in suspense, eagerly awaiting confirmation of their holiday dates.
Eid Al Fitr, also known as the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast,’ holds significant cultural and religious importance for Muslims worldwide. It marks the conclusion of Ramadan, a month characterized by fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. As one of the five pillars of Islam, fasting during Ramadan holds profound significance for adherents of the faith, serving as a time for purification, repentance, and strengthening of one’s connection with God.
Will private sector employees be granted a comparable respite to their public sector counterparts? Stay tuned for further updates and prepare to unlock the mysteries of Eid Al Fitr 2024.
