### 🎯 **Strategic Singapore Leave Planning for CNY & Hari Raya Puasa**

**Year**	**Singapore Public Holidays**	**Leave Strategy**	**Break Duration**
**2029**	**CNY (2 days)**, **Hari Raya Puasa (1 day)**	Take **Fri, Feb 16** off	**Tue - Sun (6 days)**
**2030**	**CNY (2 days)**, **Hari Raya Puasa (1 day)**	Take **Fri, May 24** off	**Tue - Sun (6 days)**
**2031**	**CNY (2 days)**, **Hari Raya Puasa (1 day)**	No leave needed (Thu-Sun weekend)	**Thu - Sun (4 days)**

---

### 📊 **Why This Works**
- **Singapore's Fixed Holidays**:

CNY always 2 days, Hari Raya Puasa always 1 day.

- **Efficient Leave**: Only **1 leave day** needed for **5 days off**.
- **Avoid Crowds**: Plan flights for **Tue/Wed nights** to avoid peak travel periods.

### 🌙 **Why Two Ramadan Bazaars in 2030?**

#### 1. **Islamic (Hijri) Calendar Mechanics**
- The Hijri year is **11 days shorter** than the Gregorian year.
- Every **33 years**, Ramadan cycles through all seasons and "doubles up" in one Gregorian year.

#### 2. **2030 Timeline**
- **1st Ramadan 2030**: Starts **Jan 5, 2030** (Hijri 1451) → Raya on **Feb 5, 2030**.
- **2nd Ramadan 2030**: Starts **Dec 26, 2030** (Hijri 1452) → Raya on **Jan 25, 2031**.
- *Both Ramadans fall under the Gregorian year 2030* (Dec 26-31 counts as 2030).

### 🛍️ **Two Distinct Bazaar Experiences**
```markdown

Period	1st Bazaar (Jan-Feb 2030)	2nd Bazaar (Dec 2030-Jan 2031)
**Dates**	Jan 5, 2030 - Feb 4, 2030 [ 30 days ]	Dec 26, 2030 (total 6 days in 2030) - Jan 24, 2031
**Weather**	Cooler, end of monsoon	Rainy, year-end humidity
**Holiday Overlaps**	CNY (Feb 3-4)	New Year's Eve (Dec 31)
**Vibes**	Post-New Year freshness	Festive Christmas/NYE crowds
**Food Trends**	Traditional Malay kuih	Fusion Raya-New Year snacks

Kongsi Raya, also known as Gongxi Raya, is a Malaysian portmanteau, denoting the Chinese New Year and Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Eid ul-Fitr) festivals.


As the timing of these festivals fluctuate due to their reliance on lunar calendars (the Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar while the Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar), they occasionally occur close to one another - every 33 years to be exact.

The Islamic calendar follows a lunar cycle, which is about 11 days shorter than the solar cycle.


Therefore, a year in the Islamic calendar consists of 12 lunar months, each lasting for 29 or 30 days. As a result, the Islamic calendar year is about 354 days long, and it can be up to 355 days in a leap year.



The Islamic calendar consists of 12 months, and each month can have either 29 or 30 days. The decision on the number of days in each month is based on the sighting of the new crescent moon. If the new moon is seen, then the current month ends and the next month begins. If not, then the current month continues for another day, and the new month starts the following day.

Most Islamic months have 29 or 30 days, but the month of Ramadan is always 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the new moon.


The decision on the start and end of Ramadan is based on the sighting of the new moon, and the month of Ramadan is always followed by the month of Shawwal, which begins with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri fell on May 13th in 2021, May 2nd in 2022, and April 22nd in 2023, respectively.

If Hari Raya Aidilfitri continues to advance by about 10 days each year, it will coincide with the Chinese Lunar New Year in 2029, 2030, and 2031, which is also known as Kongxi Raya.

It is worth mentioning that Malaysia experienced Kongxi Raya in


1964, 1965, 1966,

1996, 1997, and 1998,

where the Chinese Lunar New Year coincided with Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

This occurs on average every 32 to 33 years.

Although most people are eagerly anticipating this upcoming dual celebration, there are also concerns, especially regarding potential reductions in public holidays and traffic congestion that may result from it.

In fact, historically, Malaysia experienced "Kongsi Raya" in
1964, 1965, 1966, and 1996, 1997, 1998.

Plan ahead to avoid congestion on the road.

after 5 years my passport will expire


just renew last month


always plan first


NOW utc a lot of people

Wah oso thinking 5 yrs down d road when ur passport expire… how can such planning help ?

How? Save extra 10k and use heli back kampong by then?

Sure or not?

Come 2029, still need to go look at the moon to decide raya, end up no kongxi raya anyways.

That's a good idea. Make sure house at kampung has large field as heli pad.

Wall of unorganised text

shared joys are multiplied joys!

Dont even know if can live that long

Just enjoy taking your ELs and MCs first lah

i will renew on 2027 instead

always 4 years renew


avoid some public holiday


my parents one not sure

also just renew


maybe that time also go overseas?

12 year member

the formating macam longkang

u too forward thinking liao… srsly…

1 week Fireworks non stop🙊

that will be like 4 consecutive public holidays

2030 year lap chun day also raya?

Given that li chun is regarded as the “official” start of the spring – 立 (li) meaning to set up or start, and 春 (chun) to mean springtime, youth, or joy – it is inevitably tied to the idea of revival and growth after a period of barren winter. Ancient agricultural societies took this day to pray for a good reap for the next year, but as civilisations became more modern, this tradition also morphed to become symbolic.





Most years, Li Chun falls on Feb 4, give or take a day or two.


The exact date depends on when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 315 degrees.



yes

so during year 2030 will they ask the cainis to delay celebrate another day?

This post has been edited by Avex: Apr 22 2023, 11:14 PM

2029-2031 like not enough holidays

All I know is we used to celebrate Raya in late Nov - Dec back in 1996-1997

Now we are at April - June only..

Y'all oldfag remember somewhere in late 90s there was a year with 2 Raya?

One in January then again in December of the same year.

That year cannot play the song ..setahun hanya sekali...

Why kongxi must put behind Raya? Agenda dap ini -walaun

Kongsi deepavali when ?

It is called Raya Deepavali

Year	Hari Raya Aidilfitri	Deepavali
2038	November 11	November 13
2039	October 31	November 2
2040	October 20	October 22

Only Kongsi Thaipusam will happen.......

2029 not already kena depopz?

I think Malaysia will have a strong economy in 2029.

Sabah election is end...

So based on result,some changes will happen also...

Lets see


**“So the Ramadan bazaar will begin on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year 2026 and continue for 30 days!

Roti John, kuih-muih, cendol, ayam kebab, lemang, satay and laksa will all become the 2026 CNY Day 3 ,4,5,6,7,8,9 until chap goh mei food!

A great example of racial harmony, with both festivals being celebrated together!”**
