Cuti Umum 2026

Penang follows the standard Monday to Friday working week, in line with most Malaysian states. If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, a replacement holiday is usually observed on the following weekday based on the official Penang holiday schedule for that year.

These holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Penang, although actual operating hours may still vary by sector. Manufacturing hubs, tourism attractions, retail outlets, food businesses, and essential services may continue operating depending on business demand and visitor traffic.

Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s helpful to check this page again when planning George Town visits, food trips, school programmes, bridge travel, or long weekends in Penang.
