Fiji Announces Official List of 2009 Public Holidays

Sources: Governement of Fiji and Fiji public holidays (qppstudio.net). Late last night, the Fiji Governing Cabinet approved the list of the dates of public holidays for the year 2009. Apart from the pinning-down of the always uncertain local dates for the Prophet's Birthday and Diwali, the announcement also sets out the almost impossible to predict Youth Day. The announced list also contains some exceptions to the days in lieu rules, as specified in the law currently governing official public holidays in Fiji, the Public Holidays Act (Ordinances Nos. 1 of 1931, 5 of 1937).
