Sarawak Public Holidays

Sarawak Public Holidays lists the official holidays observed in Sarawak, Malaysia, covering both nationally recognised holidays and state-level observances that shape the working and school year in East Malaysia. The schedule reflects the holiday calendar used across Sarawak's public sector and much of the private sector, with dates set through Malaysian federal arrangements and state announcements where applicable. In practice, it brings together fixed annual holidays, movable religious holidays, and regional observances such as Gawai Dayak and Sarawak Independence Day that affect offices, schools, banks, transport, and retail across Kuching, Miri, Sibu, Bintulu, and other parts of the state. Entries in the holidays calendar typically include Labour Day, Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha), Vesak Day, Gawai Dayak, Islamic New Year, Malaysia Day, the Sarawak State Governor's Birthday, Deepavali, and Christmas Day. Because Malaysia's holiday pattern combines lunar-based festivals with fixed-date holidays, the list can change in timing from year to year while still following the official public holiday framework. That makes the calendar useful for tracking long weekends, office closures, and periods when public services operate on reduced hours. For Sarawak, the mix of federal holidays and local observances is especially relevant because the state follows a public holiday rhythm that can differ from Peninsular Malaysia on certain occasions. Businesses, civil servants, school planners, and residents who need advance notice of closures can use this Smart Calendar Feed, free to subscribe, to keep the schedule visible inside Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. The feed is useful for coordinating travel, payroll runs, meetings, and family plans around Malaysia's holiday timetable without manual entry. Because public holidays often affect banking hours, government counters, and transport patterns, a calendar that updates automatically is a practical reference for routine planning across Sarawak and the wider Malaysian context. The calendar updates regularly so holiday changes, substitutions, and official additions appear automatically when authorities adjust the published schedule.
