Kedah follows a Sunday to Thursday working week, which means public holidays and replacement leave can work a little differently compared with most other states in Malaysia. When a holiday overlaps with the state’s rest days, any replacement day off will follow the official Kedah holiday guidelines announced for that year.

These holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Kedah, although actual working arrangements may still depend on the sector. Essential services, retail outlets, tourism, and hospitality businesses may continue operating based on employer policies and service needs.

Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements can sometimes be revised through official announcements, it’s a good idea to check this page regularly when planning travel, school programmes, appointments, or staff leave in Kedah.

If you’re comparing holiday dates across Malaysia, you can also view the Public Holidays Malaysia for 2026, or refer to the School Holidays Malaysia for 2026 for school-term and family trip planning.
