According to The Straits Times, the year 2010 is going to be a year for weekend vacations. The official count of holidays that fall on either a Monday or a Friday totals to six. This means that families will have more opportunities to go out of town or explore Singapore sights together. The holidays are Chinese New Year (Feb 14 to 16), Good Friday (April 2), Vesak Day (May 28), National Day (Aug 9), Hari Raya Puasa (Sept 10), and Deepavali (Nov 5).
