Putrajaya 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 Territory holiday schedule for that year.
These holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most workplaces across Putrajaya, although actual operating hours may still vary by sector. Ministry offices, administrative departments, essential services, and selected commercial areas may continue operating depending on service needs and official schedules.
Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s always useful to check this page again when planning government appointments, ministry visits, school trips, official meetings, or errands in Putrajaya.
