27 August 2011 is a public holiday

Polling Day is a public holiday in accordance with Section 17 of the Presidential Elections Act.

The Ministry of Manpower said Polling Day, as a public holiday, should be treated in the same manner as any other public holiday.

“All employees covered by the Employment Act are entitled to paid public holidays. If an employee is required to work on Polling Day, he is entitled to an extra day's salary for the day's work, or be given a day off. Employees not required to work on that day are also entitled to one day off-in-lieu, or be given one day's pay, similar to other public holidays falling on a Saturday,” said the Ministry.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
