Anyone going up North on National Day?

[Testa_ross4]

As above. Me not going, as scared massive jam.

[Singer]

Me too

 

Wont even try JB as is a loooong weekend

[Nohnemwan]

Unless you are one of those people who NORMALLY work on Saturdays, National Day on a Saturday is not advantageous in extending your weekend.

 

So logically since ND falls on Saturday this weekend, the increase in traffic should come from those people who would otherwise be working if there was no ND.

 

So therefore will there really be a MASSIVE traffic jam like you say?

[Maersk1]

true...thinking the jams already makes you no mood of going in to JB

[Testa_ross4]

Besides JB, I am sure there would be those who be going Malacca, KL and Penang to others?

[Tkseah]

This coming weekend is not a long weekend right? Both Friday and Monday are not holidays wat...

[Testa_ross4]

Many companies would declare Monday as the default off-in-lieu, or ppl would just apply leave.

[Tkseah]

I think most companies with Sat as non working day will credit 1 day off-in-lieu for the employees.. cannot default to Monday cos it's still a working day and must have enough pple around..

[Roadhogger]

I am going kuantan

[Genie47]

Wise of you not to go.

 

Reason being it falls on a Sat. Most companies don't work on that day so employees are offered off-in-lieu. Guess which day it will be spent? The Mon 11 Aug 08. Schools don't open on this day either. It is considered a school holiday by them and yes, the teachers also get this holiday. One big massive jam coming up from Fri to Mon.

[Genie47]

A nice forecast is to check the ferry schedules to Bintan or Batam. Of course Sat and Sun are fully booked out but if Mon is fully booked out, you know hordes of people are heading out of this island for a little getaway and that includes going up north.

[Will_I_Am]

Off to Desaru for a makan trip

[Holymonk]

Die Die won't go as singaporeans sharing the same mindset of going in for a short/long trips whenever there is a holiday coming....better sit on the sofa and watch NDP show.

[Tkseah]

Or maybe will have traffic jams becos lots of customs officer take part in national day parade so the checkpoints will be understaffed??

[Mivec9]

true...thinking the jams already makes you no mood of going in to JB
