As Hari Raya approaches, there are notable signs in the body language of everyone around me that they have begun to wind down. There seems to be less activity in the office, people talk less, the meeting room is actually empty and the photocopy machine is idling cold. Its almost as though a switch was thrown on Monday, and all the brain cells, including my own, have just shut down. No one is interested in work, the only thing people are talking about are the holidays and their plans for Raya. Its so strange.
Is it just PETRONAS or is this a phenomenon mirrored everywhere?
