The dates shown in this table are estimated based on available information. This page will be updated once the official public holiday dates are announced.

Kuala Lumpur follows the standard Monday to Friday working week, in line with most parts of Malaysia. If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, a replacement holiday is usually observed on the following weekday based on the official Federal Territories holiday schedule for the year.

These public holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Kuala Lumpur, although actual operating hours can still vary by industry. Shopping malls, hospitality venues, transport services, and other essential sectors may continue operating depending on business needs and employer policies.

Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s a good idea to revisit this page when planning city travel, school programmes, appointments, meetings, or long weekends in Kuala Lumpur.

For a nationwide comparison, you can also browse the Public Holidays Malaysia for 2026, or check the School Holidays Malaysia for 2026 for family planning, school terms, and holiday trips.
