Visit perlis.gov.my for the original announcement.
Perlis 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 Perlis holiday schedule for that year.
These holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Perlis, although actual operating hours may still vary by sector. Agriculture, border-related trade, retail outlets, tourism spots, and essential services may continue operating depending on service demand and local business needs.
Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s useful to check this page again when planning Padang Besar shopping trips, Kangar visits, school programmes, border travel, or long weekends in Perlis.
