Malaysia’s public holidays reflect the country’s cultural and regional diversity. While some holidays are observed nationwide, others are specific to individual states—shaped by local traditions, history, and royal observances. Understanding these differences makes it easier to plan work, travel, and family time.

In most states, a public holiday that falls on a rest day will usually be replaced with another day off on the following weekday. However, states such as Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu follow different weekly rest-day arrangements, so replacement holidays may not always work the same way.

If you’re planning a trip, organising school activities, managing staff leave, or simply looking ahead to the next long weekend, it’s always best to check the state-specific holiday calendar above for the most accurate dates and observances.

This site provides a clear and reliable overview of Malaysia’s public holidays, covering both national and state-level holidays. Explore the full public holiday calendar for various years and see exactly which dates apply in each state.
