Eid Al Adha 2025 holiday announced for private sector
Private-sector workers in the UAE will enjoy a long weekend in celebration of Eid Al Adha next week. Employees will be granted leave from Thursday to Sunday, June 5 to 8, with work resuming on Monday, June 9. The public holiday, announced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, corresponds with the break given to public sector employees. Public and private sector staff in the Emirates are typically allocated the same number of public holidays each year. The UAE on Tuesday confirmed that Eid Al Adha would begin on Friday, June 6, after the crescent moon heralding the start of a new Islamic month was observed. What is Eid Al Adha? Eid Al Adha – which means 'festival of the sacrifice' – is the latter of the two Eid holidays celebrated across the Arab world, coming after Eid Al Fitr. Eid Al Adha commemorates how the Prophet Ibrahim was asked by God in a dream to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of his faith. As with other religious holidays in the Emirates, it is a time for friends and family to gather, often over meals, and reflect on their lives and faith. It is customary for families who have the means to slaughter a goat or sheep and share the meat with relatives and the less privileged.

N.Sembilan Employers Urged To Hire Local Workers, Including Prison Inmates
SEREMBAN, May 29 (Bernama) -- Employers in Negeri Sembilan are encouraged to hire local workers from various available sources, including prison inmates and parolees, as an alternative to reduce reliance on foreign labour. State Entrepreneur Development, Human Resources, Climate Change, Cooperatives and Consumerism Committee chairman S. Veerapan said the initiative is being implemented in collaboration with the Malaysian Prisons Department through the recruitment of supervised persons (ODS), paroled persons (ODP) and licenced released persons (OBB). 'As of this year, a total of 549 local workers from prison rehabilitation programmes have been placed with 76 employers, particularly in the manufacturing sector, to undergo career training. 'Of that number, nine companies have hired 368 ODS inmates, 54 companies have employed 135 OBB, and 13 companies have taken in 46 ODP. We hope this number will continue to increase,' he told reporters after launching the Labour Seminar – Tripartite Collaboration Between Employers, Workers and Government Agencies to Strengthen a Sustainable Economy in Negeri Sembilan here today. Also present were Negeri Sembilan Labour Department director Roslan Bahari, State Prisons director Ahmad Mustaqim Che Bisi, and Negeri Sembilan HRD Corp branch manager Mohd Khairul Nizam Supaat. Veerapan said all inmates involved in the programme will remain under the supervision of prison authorities until they complete their sentence and may then be absorbed as permanent employees. He added that employers participating in the programme are eligible for incentives under the government's Subsidi Daya Kerjaya, which provides a grant of RM300 for each inmate employed. On the seminar, Veerapan said it serves to strengthen cooperation between employers, employees and government agencies, the key pillars of the labour ecosystem, and supports efforts to boost the state's economy. 'The concept of tripartism refers to collaboration between employers, workers and the government to ensure a stable labour market, enhance productivity, and safeguard the rights and welfare of both parties,' he said.
