Public holidays 2014 in Indonesia

In August 2014, the Indonesian people have enjoyed the 2 days of national holiday, that is: Eid al-Fitr 1434 Hijri on 8-9 August 2014 and the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia on 17 August 2014. Approximately four months onward, the year 2013 will end. According to the Chinese calendar, the year of snake will be replaced with the year of horse at the time of the Chinese New Year 2565 on 31 January 2014. For those of you who want to plan the agenda in 2014, need to pay attention to the official national holiday and also the so-called "Cuti Bersama" (en: Joint Holiday) which has been declared by the three ministers on August 21, 2013 in Jakarta, as follows:

National Holidays in 2014 (translated in English in parentheses) :

In addition to national holiday in 2014 the government still giving time for "Cuti Bersama" (en: Joint Holiday) as public holidays:

  • 30-31 July and 1 August (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday): Cuti berama Idul Fitri (Joint holiday for Eid al-Fitr 1435 Hijri).
  • 26 December (Friday): Cuti bersama Natal (Joint Holiday for Christmas).

Joint holiday was meant to give sufficient time for the people to prepare to return to work and be more fresh after celebrating their religious holidays.

What is interesting in 2014? Ahaa ... International Workers' Day on 1 May has been declared as a national holiday in accordance with "Keputusan Presiden Nomor 24 Tahun 2013" (in English : Presidential Decree No. 24 Year 2013). So, in total there are 14 national holidays, even 4 holidays that fall in May 2014. Enough for a year? (ahemm...).

What is not exciting? First, companies reduced the number of annual leave by the number of joint holidays. Second, the government not yet giving Joint Holiday for Vesak Day, Day of Silence and Lunar New Year.

If we look at May 2014, there are 2 working days (date 26 and 28) flanked by the 2 holidays, and date 30 flanked by a holiday and a half working day (Saturday, 31). For this case in Indonesia, people usually dub it as "Hari Terjepit Nasional" (my translation in English is "National Wedged Day") with the hope such days will be included as holiday.

May this post beneficial for you super busy man to draw up schedule in 2014. Pssttt... may also beneficial for printing business which in the near future will be flooded by the request to print calendar 2014 (laughing...ha..ha..).

Special note: This post was published because... while draw up my schedule in 2014 (how about you?), suddenly I miss blogging world. Warm regards for Ramana in India, Jim and Neil in Australia, Colson in Netherland, and Jean in America.

      For sure we don't have King's Day. You will be more impressive if know that there are 21 local holidays in Bali province for this year, like Galungan Day, Kuningan Day, Pagerwesi Day, Saraswati Day, Siwa Ratri Day, Ngembak Geni Day, etc, etc. Whether in Netherland have the so-called Joint Holidays?

      Hesitant discussions have started to limit the number of traditional Christian public holidays ( Easter Monday or Whitsuntide) and introduce one or two Muslim public holidays. But no plans for a genuine Joint Holiday I'm aware of. May be because ours is as much a secular country as Indonesia is a religious one.

    I was just in Jakarta for Idul Fitri. The timing was perfect, but accidental. Didn't realize how important it is to plan trips around holidays. It made the traffic much less of a challenge. Thus, the schedule is quite helpful.

    This is quite a number of public holidays you have here. A good bit of information to hang onto for those wanting to plan a holiday in this part of the world. As an option maybe travellers could consider scheduling a stay at Keraton at The Plaza Jakarta in and around these holidays.

Baduy tribe and Presidential Election

I'm glad that the presidential election in Indonesia on 8 July 2009 has run well, not like the presidential election in Iran. Although there were some protests from some parties, but I think that was the dynamics of the life of democracy itself, like the small ripple in the wide ocean. Perhaps cyclone in the middle of ocean can be analogized to what has happened in Iran. So, regardless the winners or losers, the most important is Viva Democracy! Because I'm not interested in political matters, then this post is more to the interesting story that I read on Jawa Pos newspaper printed-edition dated 9 July 2009 (written in 2 series), that is, all Baduy tribe who was part of inner Baduy community (sub-groups of Baduy tribe) was not gave their vote in the presidential election in order to follow their tradition / custom . In the Ciboleger village, there was provided a voting-booth for 6,325 eligible voters from total 11,170 Baduy people. But, until 13:00 o'clock no one from inne...

The inner voices when I am get old

One day in January 2010, I visited my grandfather (father of my mother) and my grandmother (grandmother of my wife). I can feel how happy they are with my presence, as well as myself. I can see despite their spirit remain alive but I can not deny that their physical ability has decreased naturally. So I start to think how if I'm getting old like them. While thinking of it, suddenly my mind remembered a touching story that was discovered by my family. Whatever I have feel and imagine, I pour it into this post. Hopefully your love to the elderly and your parents will be more. When I'm get old. When I spilled vegetable broth on my clothes, when I no longer remember how to tie a tie, when I no longer remember how to tie shoelaces, remember the time how I teach and guide you to do that. While I am senile and constantly repeating the word that bores you, please be patient to listen to me, do not interrupt me, in the days of your childhood, with affection I kept repeating a fairy tale...

Email subscription changes

Starting in July 2021, Google has announced to stop the email subscription service powered by Feedburner. As we know that the "Follow By Email" widget on Blogger is powered by Feedburner which is owned by Google. That means any new post published on Blogger platform after June 2021 (including from this blog) will not be sent to the subscriber's email automatically. For that reason, I moved the email subscription service on this blog to " Follow.it ". Please click the Subscribe menu at the top to proceed. After that, an email will be sent to you asking for confirmation (please check your inbox). This is to ensure that you are the owner of the email and not mistype the email address. The RSS or Atom feed is still working, so you are still can get update via the feed reader you are using. Hopefully Google is still kind enough to keep it up. Here is the default feed address for this blog: Atom 1.0 = https://love-ely.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default RSS 2.0 = https:...
