Vote for an extra public holiday in Singapore

One of the great things about living in Singapore (besides the food) is the proximity to so many great places in Asia to go on holiday. Coming from Australia, Singapore was usually the first stop in any of my trips to the region. Given the distance, international trips for me happened once, maybe twice a year. Now that I’m 5 hours closer, travel is a lot easier. Thanks to the number of low-cost carriers, it’s also a lot cheaper. Be it a bus ride into Malaysia or a short flight to so many exotic locations in the region, the challenge is not so much the distance; the real challenge is finding the time to go.
