Singapore will observe 11 public holidays in 2027, with five of them falling in a way that creates extended long weekends, according to announcements reported by The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia (CNA). The updates indicate that New Year’s Day on 1 January 2027 falls on a Friday, setting the tone for the first long weekend period. Across the year, the sources say five public holidays land on Friday, Sunday or Monday, allowing workers and students to enjoy longer breaks when holidays are combined with weekend days. The reports do not indicate changes to the total number of public holidays, but they provide the calendar effect of their weekday placements. Overall, both outlets agree on the key structure for 2027: 11 public holidays in total and five long weekends created by the specific day-of-week timing of those holidays.
