Malaysian Leaves

I received this via email... just to share with you.

What kinds of leave are there existing in Malaysia? Quite a few. Including the "non-official" ones.

AL - Annual Leave.

EL - Emergency Leave.

MC - Medical (Certificate) Leave.

Mat. L - Maternity Leave.

Pat. L - Short for Paternity Leave. For men who spouses are on 'Mat. L' as mentioned above.

VL - Visitor's Leave. Taken when friends or relatives come visiting (especially those who are back for holidays from overseas).

PL - Protest Leave. When one going to join a demonstration or protest and need to leave office early and returning late (or maybe ending in jail - then ExL).

ExL - Extended Leave. Already on leave but need more leave to carry on with whatever one's doing; like continue with demonstration/protest or being in jail.

CelebL - Celebration Leave. Contiuation after Public Holiday or need leave to celebrate an occasion like hungry ghost festival, mass circumcission or paying penance to a vow etc.

OL - Overslept Leave. Either working late/overtime night before or heavy partying that one couldn't wake up on time to go to work.

POL - Pissed Off Leave. When you're super annoyed with something or someone at work, and refuse to go in the next day. Maybe in the form of MC or EL. Usually based on some trivial reason like 'stomachache' or 'cat died'.

CL - Compassionate Leave. Usually given when a member of immediate family is sick or has passed on. Subject to rampant abuse by unscrupulous employees who say they 'have very big but close family'.

FL - Football Leave. Applied on the day your team loses the Champion's League final at 3.00am in the morning.

SL - Singles Leave. For unmarried people who are ineligible for Mat. L and Pat. L, (to be fair to all) so they are given a few days off every year to actually go and socialise and find a spouse. Number of days you are entitled to increases with your age. To increase your chances lah...

FDSL - First Day of School Leave. Parents need to accompany their kids to the first day of school / kindergarten / nursery / pre-nursery / swimming class / music appreciation class...

And since of Feb 14 is fast approaching, here goes... [next year]
VDL - Valentine's Day Leave. For those who "forgot to buy flowers so they have to run around town to find cheap roses if they're not to die tonight" leave. Usually taken once a year...

This one, my own leave...
BL - Birthday Leave. I don't work on my birthday leave.
