What this value means
Eleven gazetted holiday days (10 observances; Chinese New Year spans two days) per the MOM 2026 list (loaded). Substitution rule applied: under s 4(1) of the Holidays Act 1998, when a public holiday falls on a Sunday the following Monday is a public holiday — applied to Vesak Day (Sun 31 May -> Mon 1 Jun), National Day (Sun 9 Aug -> Mon 10 Aug) and Deepavali (Sun 8 Nov -> Mon 9 Nov); both the Sunday and the Monday-in-lieu are listed, so the array has 14 entries. Hari Raya Puasa falls on Saturday 21 Mar 2026: no calendar substitution exists for Saturdays (employees whose rest/non-working day coincides get time off in lieu or extra pay under Employment Act 1968 s 88, but the public calendar date does not move). Movable religious holidays (Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Vesak Day, Deepavali) are fixed each year by gazette and confirmed by MOM; dates above are MOM's announced 2026 dates and Hari Raya dates remain subject to confirmation closer to the day in rare cases. No deliberate exclusions.
