Saw the other post and thought this would be a good discussion topic. It's hard to properly differentiate holidays since not everyone will celebrate their "designated" holiday eg. Not all Chinese celebrate vesak day, not all Malays celebrate hari raya.
Other than racial/religious holidays, what other uniquely Singaporean holidays can we have?
LKY's death anniversary as founder's day?
National roti prata day so we can all enjoy Singapore's number 1 snack together?
Or how about 11.11 aa durian day because the date is the spikiest?

In England for example the fixed date bank holidays (Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year) get postponed: eg the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays last year were on 27th and 28th December.
In Czechia on the order hand I believe this isn’t the case, and this year 5 out of the 13 public holidays will fall on a weekend.
It’s a genuine issue for people with decreased mobility not to be able to use the handrail to hold on when using stairs in pubs, restaurants and shops. Even preschoolers struggle if they don’t have something to hold on to.
As a non-boring American, I sincerely wish the day after Halloween was a day off. As it is, we have to wait for it to fall on a Friday or a Saturday for us to enjoy Halloween to its full potential.

It would make the observant Catholics happy, as the day after is November 1st.

The rest of us could sleep it off!

Grab taxis are a great innovations in Singapore who have to beat the traffic every morning to reach office. Well, it is a great service as all you have to do is book the cab by using the app and taxi will be at your doorstep. So cut the chase to of waiting for a taxi, instead book one with the best taxi booking app in Singapore. What makes Grab taxi different than other public transport is first of all Grab Coupons Code, which is offered by just Grab taxi from time to time, so that the passengers can enjoy some discount on their travelling expense which is not the case another any public transport.
· Garb taxi has GPS service option, so the drive will always drop you at the right place, even they are new, or unfamiliar with the place.
· The price is fixed, which means the cab’s meter will not run during when stuck in traffic or red light, which is a really an interesting concept.
- Grab also do give you Grab Taxi Gift Vouchers. The best part is that more you use the grab application, you get vouchers to use not just for free rides but for snacks, consumer products and much more.

>MANILA: The Philippine government on Thursday (Jan 13) defended a controversial ban on unvaccinated people using public transport in the capital Manila where Omicron is fuelling a record surge in cases.
>The rule, announced by the Department of Transportation this week and expected to take effect on Monday, comes after President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to arrest people not vaccinated against COVID-19 who refused to stay at home. Advertisement
>Passengers will have to show proof of vaccination before boarding public buses, jeepneys, trains, boats or planes in Metro Manila where infections are soaring, causing widespread disruption for businesses and straining hospitals.
>Exceptions will be made for unvaccinated people who have official permission to travel to buy food, seek medical treatment or get jabbed.
>Only around half the Philippine population are fully vaccinated, though the rate in the capital is much higher.
>The Department of Transportation said the temporary "no vaccination, no ride" policy was designed to protect everyone and avoid an economically damaging shutdown of the public transport system during the latest spike.
>"We believe that it is more anti-poor and anti-life if we will not impose interventions that will prevent loss of life due to non-vaccinations," it said.
>But rights groups, including Amnesty International, slammed the policy.
>"The way out of this pandemic is not to impose unacceptably disproportionate restrictions and punishment on those who are unvaccinated," Butch Olano of Amnesty International Philippines said.
>He warned the rule would unfairly target the poor who cannot work from home and "further erode trust in the government".
>The Philippine Commission on Human Rights said earlier the travel restrictions "effectively restricts the exercise and enjoyment of fundamental rights".
>New cases hit a record 34,021 on Thursday, with just over three million people in the Philippines infected since the start of the pandemic. Advertisement
>The government loosened lockdowns in October last year, after coronavirus infections driven by the Delta variant peaked, in order to revive the battered economy.
>New infections dwindled to a few hundred daily just before Christmas, but ramped up again as families and friends got together for the holidays.
