Here's How You Can Have 59 Days Off By Just Using 15 Annual Leave Days In 2021
The one thing Malaysians love more than food is none other than public holidays.
To be honest, who doesn't, right? A long weekend is the perfect time for us to plan a long holiday and just chill.
If you're wondering how many long weekends are there in 2021, don't worry; we've got you covered!

We at Rojak Daily did all the hard work so that you can start your holiday planning for next year.
In total, you can have 59 days off by utilising just 15 annual leave days.
Do note that some of the national holidays like Hari Raya Aidilfitri are not set in stone yet, and that you can have more than 57 days off if you're lucky enough to be working in a company that showers you with tonnes of annual leaves.
