Malaysia Public Holidays

Malaysia Public Holidays tracks the statutory and optional holidays observed across Malaysia, with dates set by the federal and state authorities that publish the yearly holiday schedule. The list spans nationwide public holidays, religious observances, bank holidays and selected commemorations, reflecting a calendar that differs across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak in several important respects. For employers, schools, financial institutions and public-sector planners, the distinction between federal holidays and state-specific observances matters as much as the holiday name itself. The calendar includes recurring entries such as New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year, Nuzul Al-Quran, Eid al-Fitr, Labour Day and Eid al-Adha, along with other observances that appear in the annual Malaysian holiday framework. In Malaysia, some holidays are fixed nationwide, while others depend on the relevant state, religious authority or official gazette notice. That structure means the public holiday sequence in early spring and around major religious periods can shift from state to state, and substitute days may appear when a holiday falls on a weekend. The holiday list therefore serves as a practical record of both national and regional observance patterns rather than a single uniform schedule. For people coordinating leave, payroll, retail hours, school breaks or cross-border travel, this Smart Calendar Feed is free to subscribe and can sit alongside Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. The value is in reducing manual entry: recurring holidays reappear each year, and the feed gives a single place to follow Malaysia’s changing mix of national days, religious festivals and bank closures. That is particularly useful for teams working across Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang, Sabah or Sarawak, where holiday observance can differ and planning around the local calendar is often necessary. As the annual Malaysian schedule is refreshed, the calendar reflects holiday changes, replacements, and official rescheduling without further date maintenance.
