Following the announcement by the Singapore Buddhist Federation on the revised date for Vesak Day in 2023, Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower has gazetted 2 June 2023 as the new public holiday for Vesak Day, adding one more long weekend to the annual lineup.
With this announcement, the full updated list of public holidays in 2023 is as follows (new dates highlighted):
22 Jan 2023
23 Jan 2023
Sunday
Monday
It should be noted that as Chinese New Year falls on Sunday and Monday, the following Tuesday, 24 Jan 2023, will be a public holiday. With this revision, there will then be a total of seven long weekends next year.
On statutory obligations, employers are encouraged to comply with the Employment Act. Here is a recap:
