Singapore's Public Holidays

Here's this year's public holidays in Singapore. You can check out the page at the Ministry of Manpower portal. ;)

Well what I actually wanted to say is, isn't it a bit pathetic that we just have 11 days of holiday per year? And what's worse is that this number is subjected to whether any of them falling on Saturdays?

Take this year for example, when National Day falls on a Saturday, we end up with only 10 days. Mmmm.. If the government enforces that should a holiday falls on a Sunday, and the following Monday be made a holiday (which makes me very happy), why not do the same for Saturday?

It just puzzles me. :\

For those interested, here's next year's list of public holidays. Again, only 10 days. :(
