Nothing changes during the public holidays, except Chinese New Year. Some shops/restaurants may close on the first day of CNY, but increasingly more are staying open during this period.
Agreed... just like in the old days shops were shut on Xmas in the West, now you'd be hard pressed to find places that are actually shut for the whole period.

I think CNY is interesting because it shows how much Singapore relies on foreign workers from Malaysia and China. While places are increasingly kept open, they do struggle. I went into one massage place and they said, that they had to reduce the number of slots available because many of the torturers .. I mean masseurs had gone back to Malaysia for CNY
