Singapore Public Holidays 2015


Singapore Public Holidays 2015 calendar is out and there are many good news in it. There are six 3-days long weekends in 2015 (Good Friday, Labour Day, Vesak Day, Hari Raya Puasa, National Day and Christmas Day) and there is one 4-days long weekend (Chinese New Year 2015). Besides, by taking only 3-days of annual leave, you can create 3 4-days long weekends (New Year 2015, Hari Raya Haji and Deepavali).

Singapore public holidays are not only important for the residents in Singapore but also for visitors to Singapore and South East Asia. During these holidays, Singaporeans mass-travel in the region, especially to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia (Bali particularly) and air tickets, hotels and almost everything are quite expensive or sold out during these holidays. If you are planning to visit South East Asia around these public holidays, book your tickets and South East Asia hotel room in advance.
