"As the Lunar New Year's Day in 2010 falls on a Sunday, the day preceding will be designated as an additional general holiday. Also, the Ching Ming Festival and the Easter Monday in 2010 fall on the same day, thus the next following day that is not itself a general holiday will be observed as an additional general holiday," said a Government spokesman.
