9 long weekends in 2010 <!--10 min-->

</td></tr> </tbody></table> <!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--> SINGAPOREANS can look forward to nine long weekends next year as all public holidays except one fall on the weekend, Friday or Monday. Out of the 10 public holidays for 2010 released by the Manpower Ministry (MOM) on Monday, eight fall on Friday or Monday, which means a three-day stretch. The only one that falls on a weekday is Hari Raya Haji on Nov 17, a Wednesday. Starting with the first day of the New Year on a Friday, long weekends follow with Chinese New Year falling on Feb 14, Sunday, and Feb 15, Monday. This means that Feb 16, Tuesday, will also be a public holiday. Good Friday, Vesak Day and Deepavali all fall on Fridays, while Labour Day and Christmas Day will be Saturdays. MOM also reminds the public that Deepavali this year will fall on Oct 17, Saturday, instead of Nov 15, Sunday, after verification against the Indian Almanac. This year, seven out of the 11 public holidays were long weekends.
