Singapore Public Holidays: 2026 and 2027 Dates
Monday 9 November 2026 is a public holiday in Singapore: Deepavali falls on Sunday 8 November, and MOM's page says that if an employee's rest day is 8 November, Monday 9 November is a public holiday. After Deepavali, the only public holiday left in 2026 is Christmas Day on Friday 25 December.
This lesson rewrites MOM's official public holiday pages as a six-paragraph Chinese reading passage for HSK 4–5 learners. You will read how a replacement holiday works when a festival meets a rest day, and see the 2027 public holiday dates and weekdays: New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Good Friday, Labour Day, Hari Raya Haji, Vesak Day, National Day, Deepavali and Christmas Day. Key words: 公共假期 (public holiday), 补假 (substitute day off), 休息日 (rest day), 规定 (rule), 遇到 (to fall on), 元旦 (New Year's Day), 刚好 (just; exactly), 公布 (to announce). Information as of 19 June 2026.
Each key word comes with pinyin, an English gloss, a Chinese explanation and an example sentence, all with audio. Seven quiz questions with explanations check your understanding, and the passage can be played in a female or male voice, which makes it useful listening and reading-comprehension practice. Please follow MOM's latest announcements for dates and replacement rules.
