LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Fiji Day

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.
