The Most Efficient Way To Use The Public Holdiays

First important thing, i base my “strategy” on an average 20 holidays granted by your employer.
Since Vesak Day, falls on a Saturday this year (09/05) you will most likely get an additional holiday granted, which brings us to an sum of 21 available holidays.

• 3 Days from 28th January to 31st January (Becomes 1 week of holiday)
• 5 days from 4th May to 8th May (Becomes 11 days of holiday)
• 4 days from 11th August to 14th August (Giving You A Week For Summer Holiday)
• 4 days holiday from 17th Nov to 20th Nov (becomes 1 week)
• + 5 days left for creating your own mixture of long holidays

In which way ever you decide to take your holidays, i wish you pleasant days and a nice time and holiday from your “holiday” in Singapore :)
