TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As we move into the mid-months of the year, it's a bit hard to swallow the reality that the Singapore holiday only remains with a few dates left this year.
Updating Tempo English’s article on Singapore public holiday 2025, it’s worth taking a look at what’s ahead. The news, however, isn’t exactly thrilling—spoiler alert: only two long weekends remain out of the four total in the year.
The first two long weekends of 2025—Hari Raya Puasa in March and Good Friday in April—are already behind us.
The remaining ones to look forward to are Vesak Day and Deepavali, which both fall on Monday. On a less exciting note, the other three upcoming public holidays fall less favorably: two land on Saturdays (Hari Raya Haji and National Day), while Christmas falls on a Thursday, offering a potential break but not a true long weekend.
Here’s a full look at the remaining public holidays and potential long weekends in Singapore for 2025:
- Vesak Day: Monday, May 12, 2025 (long weekend)
- Hari Raya Haji: Saturday, June 7, 2025
- National Day: Saturday, August 9, 2025
- Deepavali: Monday, October 20, 2025 (long weekend)
- Christmas Day: Thursday, December 25, 2025
A quick reminder: According to TimeOut, under Singapore’s Employment Act, if you work on a public holiday, you are then eligible for compensatory leave. And for those fortunate enough to have time off on the dates mentioned above, there’s no time like the present to plan a nearby retreat to relax and recharge.
For such reasons, feel free to explore the top 10 places to visit near Singapore.
