A hollow week on a Malaysian festive calendar

A quiet W1 after an intake week that overlapped Hari Raya travel is a different object from a quiet W1 in a plain working fortnight.

We keep a paper calendar on the sideboard at Level 7. When a row’s second cell sits inside a long weekend of visiting, we mark the cell as calendar-touched rather than as a verdict on the app.

That mark does not excuse a hollow that repeats after the holiday. It only stops a planning meeting from treating a festive week as a permanent leak. Bring the public-holiday list with the export. We will not guess which state observed a replacement holiday if you do not say.
