This article is more than 12 months old
There will be six long weekends next year, based on the list of gazetted public holidays released by the Ministry of Manpower on Friday (April 8).
This is one more than the five this year. Seven of the 11 public holidays fall on a Friday, Sunday or Monday.
As New Year's Day and Deepavali fall on a Sunday, the following Monday will be a public holiday.
The first day of Chinese New Year also falls on a Sunday, hence the following Tuesday, Jan 24, will be a public holiday, forming a long weekend of four days.
