Christians used to have 4 public holidays ie Xmas day and Boxing day, Easter Friday and Easter Monday. In attempt to allocate public holidays more fairly boxing day and easter monday were removed so that Xtians were left with 2. The Chinese were allocated the same number while the Malays, Buddhists and Tamils one each so Hari Raya Haji was removed and so too was Thaipusam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Whores'_Day should be a public holiday and Geylang should offer free fucks for all sinkies that have completed national service.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia






French prostitutes are carted off to the Salpêtrière prison (Étienne Jeaurat, 1745)
International Whores’ Day or International Sex Workers’ Day is observed annually on June 2 of each year, honours sex workers and recognises their often exploited working conditions. The event commemorates the occupation of Église Saint-Nizier in Lyon by more than a hundred sex workers on June 2, 1975 to draw attention to their inhumane working conditions.[1] It has been celebrated annually since 1976. In German, it is known as Hurentag (Whore's Day). In Spanish-speaking countries, it is the Día Internacional de la Trabajadora Sexual, the International Day of the Sex Worker.

If you have more public holidays ,there will be less people slaving away to produce goods and services to support the multimillion dollar minister salaries.
In a govt where serfs need to be cheaperer, bettterer and fasterer , less public holidays the better.
Do ministers need to apply for leave when travelling for official trips?

When ministers travel on official trips or business trips ,they are considered working. No need to apply leave.

Hari raya Haji is a pblic holiday in Singapore. It is too significant to Islam to be removed.
