The major public holidays in Singapore reflect the cultural and religious diversity of the country, including the Chinese New Year , Buddhist Vesak Day , Muslim Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha (known locally by its Malay names '' Hari Raya Puasa '' and '' Hari Raya Haji '' respectively), Hindu Diwali (known locally by its Tamil name Deepavali ). Christian s are also a significant group (about 14 per cent of the population), and Christmas Day and Good Friday are public holidays. This represents a carefully calibrated distribution of public holidays given to each group. Because of this some of the other special days have not been given public holiday status - including other Christian holidays (Ascension Day), Muslim holidays (Awal Muharam, birthday of Muhammad) and Hindu holidays (Thaipusam).
