Re: National Day = 5 days off
will be interesting to see what eventuates this year.
Last year the private sector holiday was pushed to the preceding day.
This year may be the same pushed to Sunday 30th. But that doesn't work well with all public sector who will be getting Tue 2nd - Sat 6th off.
So my money is on the actual 2nd Tues to be a holiday. or maybe the Thursday 4th?
I also feel there may be some very big news over these dates that could be the reason why the public sector are getting a 5 day holiday this year. Just wild speculation of course.

Re: National Day = 5 days off
Why don't they state the holidays for the year at the end of the previous year like in Europe or the US?
It seems so stupid to me.
