Friday/Saturday weekend next year

Thursday's Arab Times...

Saturday off likely

KUWAIT CITY: Government is seriously considering the option of changing the weekend holidays from Thursday and Friday to Friday and Saturday “like other Gulf countries as it is affecting the economy,” reports Al-Anba daily. Sources say the government may approve the new weekend holidays but the change will come into effect from September when the schools start a new academic year. Also, the government may approve the suggestion of MPs to follow the ‘fall back’ and ‘spring forward’ timings, followed in many countries including England, France, Egypt and Lebanon.

MPs have suggested that Kuwait should put its clocks one hour ahead starting April till end of September every year. This way, residents can make most of the daylight and can save electricity.


Believe it when I see it.
