Public Holidays in Singapore during 2025

What days are you off work in Singapore in 2025

In Singapore, public holidays play a significant role in the cultural and social fabric of the nation. The Ministry of Manpower designates 11 official public holidays each year, which include major celebrations such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali, and National Day. These holidays provide employees with the opportunity to rest and spend time with family, while also promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity within the workforce. Understanding public holidays is crucial for effective absence management and staff leave planning, ensuring that businesses can maintain productivity while respecting employees' rights to time off.
