We give all the public holidays to our helper as we get them all from our company.... - is there any reason why only 12 of them are 'statutory'

By law Helpers are entitled to Statutory holidays only. It's entirely up to you if you give your helper more.

Bit confused re Chinese New Year hols this year 2008 - which days do the helpers get off then? Is is the Thursday, Friday and Saturday? Please let me know if possible. Thank you.
