The G-O-V. ruined Christmas for teachers...WHY?

This year, teachers of secondary school (aka high school) in charge of marking SPM (the test for getting into college) papers would not spend Christmas with their families, mine included.

These teachers would be on lock down in designated hotels.

Oh sure, they have a few hours off on Christmas day, but with only a few days before Christmas to start (must be finished within 10 days) and hundreds maybe even thousands of papers for each teacher...the pressure to finish marking and skip Christmas is there.

Before, teachers would mark SPM papers much earlier before Christmas.

Its works until a few papers got lost, and the student wanted to sue the guys in charge.

And therefore this arrangement.

I get the part of a lock down marking papers BUT WHY IN THE WORLD IN THE MIDDLE OF CHRISTMAS?!

Setting the date much EARLIER would be no problem for the teachers.

There were some weeks of freedom before Christmas came.

So why?

WHY DID 'THEY' RUINED CHRISTMAS???

Note: This question is of Malaysia if you haven't noticed. The land of...biased rules.

And yes, I should have posted the question much earlier but my cpu crashed.

Update:

Ringgit,

Let me repeat again. In capital letters.

THERE WERE SOME WEEKS OF FREEDOM BEFORE CHRISTMAS CAME.

Update 2:

Hmm how very interesting...

The last 2 answerers cited something about laziness or resignation.

Are they g.o.v. lackeys or does family and God mean nothing to them?

Or they simply have a hatred for Christians and Christmas?

As for government workers working on Christmas, are they Christians themselves?

You guys should really take a look at how other countries solve Christmas holidays for g.o.v. workers. But I guess you both couldn't exactly think.

Did it ever occur to you both that its non-existent for someone who celebrates all the festivities in Malaysia? At best you can join the party made from someone else.

Note, apparently it never occured to these 2 answerers to think about the above...

There are quite a number of hints that suggest the party of lock down IS NOT ME.

Hint 1: I said 'These teachers' (how obvious can I get anymore?)

2: I used 'they' (2nd paragraph)

3: I said a few days before Christmas day the lock down starts, how in the world am I able to type to even this que

    Is this what you call 1 Malaysia where minority races are being deprived of their holiday rights?It's just an empty theme to favour the elite group with two sets of draconion laws to corner every citizen right down to their knees.

    OMG..you are so lazy!

    Well, as you've mentioned it, on the other hand, perhaps everyone should be allowed to enjoy all their festive holidays. Don't forget our firefighters, police force, army, pilot, stewardess,and other service providers staff ie TNB, Astro, AMxis, Celcom, Digi, Telekom, toll attendants, hoteliers and many more.

    Let's make festive holiday a compulsory to every single person on Malaysia land. Malaysia boleh!

    nicely i need to be somewhat thick because of the fact i don't be attentive to what's the damaging element to do with woman and ho ho ho (perhaps this is an american element...) yet i be attentive to this stupidity drives me INSANE. INSANE I say. What approximately years in the past, in NZ, the photograph on blackcurrent jam (a black golliwog) replaced into banned because of the fact it replaced into racist in direction of ***** human beings. Then golliwogs have been banned altogether with the aid of this. Oh and noddy and massive ears have been given banned because of the fact they use to cover decrease than the table jointly bare and then, hence have been gay so as that replaced into no longer fitted to 5 365 days olds to be viewing hi! So what the heck in the event that they have been gay, who the heck cares, i do no longer. i do no longer care while you're black, white, gay, on the instant, tall, short, fat, skinny, what does it rely! What drop lifeless dumb *** makes those judgements. thankfully noddy and massive ears have been waiting to return lower back, particularly reformed, and no nakedness decrease than the table thank you very lots! a large style of circumstances like this, this is sheer stupidity. i've got heard over right here in Australia the communicate approximately santa being banned in faculties etc because of the fact some teenagers do no longer follow that. nicely I do exactly no longer agree. this is an previous australian custom, this is what we do. I welcome opportunities to learn approximately different cultures, religions, ideals and techniques of existence, advantageous, upload some new issues, we are in a position to all be knowledgeable yet do no longer eliminate what has been section human beings for hence long, i think we are dropping our identity in this stupidity. completely. So i'm getting it and that i'm advantageous you will discover you're actually not on my own on your insanity!
