The major public holidays in Singapore reflect
the cultural and religious diversity of the country, including the
Chinese New Year, Buddhist Vesak Day, Muslim Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha
(known locally by its Malay names Hari Raya Puasa and Hari Raya Haji
respectively), Hindu Diwali (known locally by its Tamil name Deepavali).
Christians are also a significant group (about 14 per cent of the
population), and Christmas Day and Good Friday are public holidays. This
represents a carefully calibrated distribution of public holidays given
to each group in Singapore.
