good move !!!! most people will take a casual or sick leave to enjoy a long weekend.
in the GCC most holidays are shifted so that the people enjoy a long week end (e.g. th e prophet's birthday was to be mid week but all countries shifted it to the last working day of the week, so that bot parties do not lose out.

The whole week should be declared holidays, anyway public/ government sector offices will function with a handful.

This type of decisions should not be taken at the last minute. Please look at the April calendar in January and try to avoid these silly mistakes atleast next year.

What about the private sector? Those are the people who pay tax for this country!
