got good friday should have easter monday!

From Google Gemini:


Easter Monday used to be a public holiday in Singapore. Here's why it's no longer observed:

  • Business Competitiveness: In the 1960s, Singapore removed several public holidays, including Easter Monday, to increase business competitiveness and reduce costs associated with additional days off.
  • Consultation with Communities: The Ministry of Manpower worked with religious and community leaders in Singapore to determine which holidays would be retained.
  • Other Removed Holidays:Along with Easter Monday, some other holidays that were removed include:
    • Boxing Day (day after Christmas)
    • The Prophet Muhammad's Birthday
    • Holy Saturday (the Saturday before Easter Sunday)
