Lunar New Year

The Lunar New Year is pretty fast going to be over, the Chinese takes 15 days to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

In China there are golden holidays starting from the first day of lunar new year to the seventh day and official work starts on the eight day.

Pearl factory shut down for lunar new year, the business operation will be re-operating after seven days. There are three golden holidays in China. Labour Day on 1st May, National Day on 1st October, and next Lunar New Year. Each Golden Holiday is 7 days totaling 21 days annually. There are also other festivals though they are not declared public holidays.

In Singapore we have eleven public holidays, there are various type of festival, including New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year, Malay Hari Raya Puasa and Hari Raya Haji, India Deepavali, Christmas day, Good Friday and Labour Day.

Good in the way, we have four races celebrating their festival in difference time, it ensure all public operations are in normal function, duty taken by exchange peoples on the job for each holiday seasons not because of holiday all public services has to stop operation for the period. For example public bus services, MRT services, some restaurant or fast food outlet.
