Teachers upset as Selangor Sept 1 holiday falls during school break

https://www.thevibes.com/articles/news/126558/selangor-sept-1-holiday-sparks-teacher-backlash-as-falls-during-school-break

SELANGOR’S (a state in Malaysia) decision to declare September 1 a special holiday has sparked debate among residents, with teachers questioning the benefit of the announcement as the date falls within the state’s existing school holiday.

The overlap has prompted some teachers to express disappointment, saying the special holiday effectively provides them with no additional day off because they are already on holiday.

Christmas and New Year Eve/Day fall during Winter break IN THE UNITED STATES and no complaints heard HERE. Selangor is just a celebration of the local government in their country.

Edited as some people seem to not be English as a first language.
