Talking about his first point, a developing nation may not afford 2-day weekly holidays but for a corrupt developing country like ours, it is all the same. With the astonishing and amazing level of corruption we have installed in every step of governmental offices, it actually doesn't matter whether we have 2-day weekly holidays or no holidays at all! If we want to solve the numerous problems of the country and want to uproot corruption from every level of government and public offices, we must not restructure the holiday model.

If it is a 2-day weekly holiday, then the shifting of important files from one desk to another will take years. And if the government comes out with a seven day working structure, then the shifting process will take more than a year. In a 2-day weekly holidays, our govt. staffs will get 5 days to run their corrupt practices. And in a 1-day structure, they will get 6 days. Which one is better totally depends on personal opinions. So, at first you must have corruption uprooted from the deep of our heart because here we differ from the western developed nations, not in holidays.

And regarding Mr. Jamal's most absurd notion of having a Saturday-Sunday holiday structure, our real "Holy-day" of the week is Friday. The holidays in western countries mean a "holy-day" when everyone have the chance of going to the churches or temples and sitting back and relax after a torrid week. So our current Friday holiday structure makes some senses at least! And one important thing should be remembered, not Pakistan or even Saudi Arabia is the role model of an Islamic country. The one and only model of Islam is in what Allah says and what the prophet (sm.) did. That means Quran and Hadith instead of Pakistan, Afghanistan or Saudi Arab.
