Minimum Leave - Maximum Fun

1. Take 3 days and rest 9 Days.
Chinese New Year next year falls on a Monday and Tuesday (Jan 26 and 27), so if you took an additional three days leave, you stand to get nine days off.

2. Take 8 days and get another 8 free.
The biggest perk is reserved for the end of the year when Deepavali and Hari Raya Haji falls within a two-week span in November. If you have an additional eight days of leave to spare, you can stretch it to get a 16-day break.

Planning for a overseas trip, long R&R, pre/post honeymoon or even a wedding... the above is a great reference.
