According to the Ministry of Manpower's schedule released on June 18, the city-state will observe a total of 11 public holidays.
The first extended weekend will kick off right at the start of the year with New Year's Day, which falls on a Friday.
The Lunar New Year will be celebrated on Saturday, Feb. 6, and Sunday, Feb. 7. Because the holiday falls over the weekend, the following Monday has been designated as a public holiday, creating a seamless three-day break, according to Asia One.
Good Friday will be observed on March 26, securing another long weekend for residents.
Two additional public holidays will fall on Mondays, rounding out the five extended weekends: Hari Raya Haji on May 17 and National Day on Aug. 9.
