Visit terengganu.gov.my for the original announcement.
Terengganu follows a Sunday to Thursday working week, which means public holidays and replacement leave can work a little differently from most other Malaysian states. If a holiday overlaps with the state’s rest days, any replacement day off will follow the official Terengganu holiday schedule announced for that year.
These public holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most businesses across Terengganu, although actual operating hours may still vary by sector. Tourism operators, island ferry services, retail outlets, hospitality businesses, and essential services may continue running depending on travel demand and seasonal activity.
Because holiday dates and replacement arrangements may occasionally be revised after official announcements, it’s always helpful to check this page again when planning Redang or Perhentian trips, school programmes, balik kampung travel, or long weekends in Terengganu.
