Two land on Saturday (Labour Day on 1 May and Christmas Day on 25 December), so the calendar loses two working-day savings to weekend collisions. Chinese New Year Day 2 and Hari Raya Haji both fall on Sunday and trigger Monday in-lieu observance, so the calendar shows the Monday dates.
How many working days does Singapore have in 2027?
Singapore has 253 working days in 2027 on the Monday-to-Friday count. The two Saturday-falling holidays push the working-day total slightly higher than 2026, while the two Sunday in-lieu shifts keep the total flat against weekend-only loss.
Are 2027 lunar and Islamic dates final?
MOM publishes the upcoming year's gazetted holidays around mid-2026. The Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Chinese New Year, Vesak Day, and Deepavali entries are tagged approximate until the official gazette lands. Verify against MOM before pinning a legally critical deadline.
