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.

Perak follows the standard Monday to Friday working week, similar to 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 Perak holiday schedule for that year.

These holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Perak, although actual operating hours may still vary by sector. Manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, retail outlets, and essential services may continue operating depending on service needs and business demand.

Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s always helpful to check this page again when planning Ipoh food trips, balik kampung travel, school programmes, cave temple visits, or long weekends in Perak.

For a nationwide comparison, you can also browse the Public Holidays Malaysia for 2026, or refer to the School Holidays Malaysia for 2026 for family breaks, school terms, and festive travel planning.
