It is celebrated on Fri, Mar 29 as a "public holiday" in Singapore this year. Celebrated as "good friday".
However, almost all shops and other tourist places will be open. Very unlike Europe for sure. No worries unless you have official business.

Thanks, I am mostly interested in small shops selling junk, not department stores etc
What percent of the people in Singapore are Christians ?
Or does everyone just like another public holiday

How do you compare Italy "some years ago" on Easter Monday with Singapore?

Only places closed will be govt offices, banks, corp offices, schools and post offices.
That's just the way it is in Singapore!

If food and/or shopping is your thing, there should be no problem at all ^

No idea about % of Christians in Singapore but there are quite a number. Most shops are not closed though; the only crippling holiday for tourists who come here to shop is Chinese New Year.
