Deepavali PH flipped!

[Semaj2357]

SINGAPORE: Deepavali this year will now be on 2 November.


The Hindu Advisory Board (HAB) advised that Deepavali will fall on 2 November (Saturday) instead of 3 November 2013 (Sunday).


The Ministry of Manpower said since Deepavali is no longer on 3 November, 4 November will not be a public holiday.

Instead, 2 November will be gazetted as a public holiday.


MOM has also released the dates for 2014’s public holidays which is available on MOM's website.

So how will the employees of those 5 day week companies be compensated?

When did this 'let us check our special almanac last minute for the real date of Deepavali' thing start?

I think it's a fairly recent phenomenon. Who started it?

The Keling at HAB should have kept their big mouths shut and stick to the 3 November date..

You should be entitled to a PH even if you're on a 5-day w/week. Check with your HR dept.

Indian Buddhists are definitely in the minority here.
