While I support a national holiday for our beautiful country and its people, I urge our government to celebrate it on a Monday; or a Friday.
While at it, I also request to scrap the Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday holiday.
He himself never celebrated his birthday; so why should we?
Countries like Pakistan, India, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Indonesia, they don’t celebrate it? Here in Fiji, its celebrated only at two or three centres, nationwide. Most Muslims don’t too!
I suggest we replace it with a Fiji Clean Up Day, where we all go out and clean up our backyard, front yard, town and cities, then cleanse ones self for the entire year.
