Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Tuesday (July 14) that all civil servants and employees will be granted a five-day holiday from Aug 17 to Aug 21 in lieu of the Khmer New Year holiday in April that was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“As promised, the government decided to make up for a five-day Khmer New Year holiday from Aug 17 to 21,” he said during a visit to the Freshwater Aquaculture Research and Development Centre in southeastern Prey Veng province.
The decision came after the situation of Covid-19 has been brought under control, he said.
