Senator gesa JPA teliti kelonggaran cuti tanpa rekod Deepavali
Gesaan Dr RA Lingeshwaran susulan pertindihan tarikh perayaan dengan cuti hujung minggu.
Senator Dr RA Lingeshwaran has urged the government to investigate the provision of special leave without record (CTR) for civil servants of the Hindu faith due to the timing of Deepavali celebrations on Sunday, with Monday being a general public holiday in the relevant state. Deepavali this year falls on Sunday, while Monday is a public holiday, making it unclear if Hindu civil servants can fully benefit from the group CTR facility.
He appealed to the Prime Minister to direct the Public Service Department (JPA) to review the issue and consider it positively. "This situation raises questions about whether Hindu civil servants can avail the full benefits of the group CTR facility. I hope this request receives a positive consideration for the welfare of Hindu civil servants.
This way, they can prepare and celebrate Deepavali with their families more meaningfully," he stated in a statement.
