Vesak Day

Vesak Day is an important Buddhist observance commemorating events in the Buddha’s life. Temples may hold services or gatherings, with arrangements differing by community and venue.

• Check temple-area activity: Nearby services may need to account for visitors and traffic notices.
• Demand varies by area: Shopping centres and neighbourhood businesses can face different patterns.
• Publish booked-service hours: Clinics and salons should confirm whether their Thursday sessions operate.
• Visitor enquiries: Share your hours; suggest checking transport and attraction notices directly.
• Check employment guidance: For private-sector days off, substitute holidays, staffing and pay arrangements, follow announcements from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

• 30 days before: Set Thursday opening hours and check access notices if close to a temple holding activities.
• 14 days before: Set each date’s special hours in Google Business Profile, including closed days. Publish a Post on the same day with the complete opening schedule.
• 7 days before: Repeat the one-day schedule and confirm appointments and deliveries.
• On the holiday: Verify that the posted hours still match actual operations. Check that the special hours will expire after their assigned dates rather than overwrite regular hours.
