State Public Holidays 2027

In addition to national public holidays, Sarawak observes several state-specific public holidays that apply only within the state. These holidays are established under state regulations and local traditions, and they may differ from those observed in other parts of Malaysia.

Sarawak follows a Monday–Friday working week, consistent with most Malaysian states. When a public holiday falls on a Sunday, a replacement holiday is usually observed on the following weekday, subject to official guidelines.

Public holidays in Sarawak generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses operating within the state. However, working arrangements may vary by sector, particularly in tourism, resource-based industries, retail, and essential services.

As public holiday dates and replacement arrangements may be updated following official announcements, it is advisable to refer to this page regularly when planning work schedules, school activities, or travel within Sarawak.

Public holiday dates may differ by state and year. To compare dates nationwide, view the Public Holidays Malaysia for 2027, or refer to the School Holidays Malaysia for 2027 for term-based planning.
