Is 8 February 2027 a public holiday?

Yes. Chinese New Year falls on Saturday, 6 February and Sunday, 7 February 2027. Under section 4(2) of the Holidays Act, when a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the next day that is not itself a public holiday is a public holiday, so Monday 8 February is a public holiday (Government Gazette notification No. 3467 of 2026 says so too).

What if a public holiday falls on a Saturday?

There is no Monday holiday for it. In 2027, Chinese New Year (6 February), Labour Day (1 May) and Christmas Day (25 December) fall on a Saturday. According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), employees covered by the Employment Act on a 5-day work week, whose Saturday is a non-working day, are entitled to another day off or one extra day’s salary for that public holiday; if a public holiday falls on the rest day (Sunday), the next working day is a paid public holiday. Employees not covered by the Employment Act follow their employment contract.
