Ramadan has not yet started. Maybe your company has not yet started the process.

Like it or don't, that is your and my problem. This is their country, they do what they see as right and appropriate. who are we to complain or to raise an issue?? why are we here?? Our home countries spilled us out, rejected us, at least these people here allow us to work. If you do not like it leave it, go to your home country and do what you like.

the law gives the maximum hours, u can make your workers work. but u can _as stated by the same law_ make them work less if u want, but not more without compensation (overtime, or an additional day off).

Again, they do what THEY want.

your sense is Right; Ramadan timing are universal but Management discriminate between fasting and non fasting employees to manage the work load.

Is this work timing applicable to all muslim and non-muslim employee?

It never changed since decades....

5 hours working for Govt and 6 hours working for private cos.

@LP_Labor law provides and restrict the maximum.

That's against the Labor Law, it says six hours! They change the laws as they like. Cool.
