Many Malaysian employees are looking forward to the end of August, when two public holidays — Prophet Muhammad's Birthday and Hari Kebangsaan — create the perfect opportunity for an extended break

According to travel-focused Threads account @travelsav3r, employees can enjoy up to 10 consecutive days off by taking just four days of annual leave.

The suggested leave plan combines two weekends with the public holidays for Prophet Muhammad's Birthday on 25 August and Hari Kebangsaan on 31 August.

Under the proposed schedule, employees would only need to take annual leave on 24 August and from 26 to 29 August to enjoy a 10-day break from 22 to 31 August.
