Sarawak 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 Sarawak holiday schedule for that year.

These holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Sarawak, although actual operating hours may still vary by sector. Tourism operators, resource-based industries, retail outlets, transport services, and essential businesses may continue operating depending on travel demand and local service needs.

Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s always useful to check this page again when planning Kuching trips, longhouse visits, school programmes, balik kampung flights, or long weekends across Sarawak.

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 travel, school terms, and festive break planning.
