Mahdzir: All schools must adhere to CNY holidays

Mohd Asri Yusof: The MOE should have issued a directive at the start of the school year and incorporate festive holidays as part of the school’s annual holiday calendar. Last-minute decisions will only throw plans into disarray.

Katherine Lee: Aren’t school holidays, including festive ones, usually made known from the start?

Toh Jin Yen: Honestly, 5 to 6 days of holiday aren’t enough for most when celebrating a major festival.
