The Indonesian Government has revised the official list of National and Shared Holidays (long weekends) for 2023.
As reported by Kompas.com, the recent changes in the official calendar of holidays affect the National Holidays and Shared Holidays in connection with Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1444 Hijriah. Initially scheduled for 21, 24, 25, and 26 April 2023 is now changed to 19, 20, 21, 24, dan 25 April 2023.
The changes were conveyed via a joint ministerial decree issued by the Minister of Religion, the Minister of Manpower, and the Minister of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform.
Explaining the last-minute change in dates, the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture, Muhadjir Effendy, said: “The consideration in moving the dates for the shared holiday and adding a day was done to allow the public to advance their holiday to avoid logjams at the height of the “mudik” (homecoming) period falling on Idul Fitri Day 21 April 2023.
