PENANG: The state government has declared a public holiday on Tuesday (26th August 2008) “to ensure a full turnout of voters for the critical Permatang Pauh by-election”, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said (TheStar 2008).

However, I'm in Australia, not Malaysia. And I encounter two contrasting situations:
Penang: By election and PUBLIC HOLIDAY.
Adelaide: Pharmaceutics calculation test on Wednesday, Statistic practical test on Thursday and Chemistry test the following Monday.

In conclusion, it will be a hectic week from this week till next Monday.
