@timtiah: Malaysians are asking Anwar for a 4-day workweek. But what would actually happen to our economy? 🇲🇾 In Britain, companies that tried it saw sick days drop 65% and resignations fall 57%. Iceland also reported encouraging results. But there’s an economic catch nobody talks about. If we work 20% fewer hours for the same pay, hourly labour costs rise 25%. Some companies could become more productive. Others might need to hire more staff or raise prices. So could Malaysia afford a 3-day weekend? Or would somebody else end up paying for it? Would you vote for a 4-day workweek?

Just look at japan, they have one of the highest work hour yet lowest productivity per hour. More hour does not mean you do work every hour.

well it might work for certain nationality, race or culture but for others it might just have the opposite effects. I do think it's good at certain areas where people are overworked, just quoting as an example Japan where cases of people overworked till they were found dead.

The current working days is based on the idea by Henry Ford during industrial era in 1926. It's also his idea about the Sunday as off day. So, it's about time to change because technology today can assist the productivity.

dude lets enforce working 5 days a week first before we talk about working 4 days a week, private sector is mostly still working 6 days a week which is mentally & physically exhausting. plus no time for family bonding period, imagine when you off one day a week that 1 day off will become more tiring than working day

let's take a step back and bring back 5 working days first ... if you ever wonder why most service workers are such a b, sometimes, you won't even get a full one day rest.

We should start to copy kedai mamak. They don't stop after 10 pm. They still open. Even banks should open 24 hours on weekends. A lot of people I know desperate to get money and finished their business but unfortunately banks are close. Stop being lazy.
