Visit kelantan.gov.my for the original announcement.

Kelantan follows a Sunday to Thursday working week, so public holidays and replacement leave may be observed a little differently from most other states in Malaysia. If a holiday falls on the state’s rest days, any replacement day off will follow the official Kelantan holiday schedule and guidelines for that year.

These public holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most workplaces throughout Kelantan, although actual operating hours may still vary by industry. Essential services, retail businesses, transport, and hospitality sectors may continue as usual depending on service requirements and employer policies.

Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements can occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s best to check this page again before planning travel, school programmes, appointments, or staff leave in Kelantan.
