How many public holidays each state gets in 2027
Federal and state holidays together, as listed by the Cabinet. Replacement days are not counted.
Questions people ask
When is the next public holiday in Malaysia?
The next public holiday across Malaysia is Deepavali on Sunday, 8 November 2026. It is not a holiday in Sarawak. Pick your state above to see the next holiday where you live.
What is cuti ganti (a replacement holiday)?
When a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the next working day becomes a holiday under the Holidays Act 1951. This is called cuti ganti. In Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, where the weekend is Friday and Saturday, a holiday that falls on a Friday moves to the Sunday. This page shows these replacement days as "expected"; your employer confirms the final arrangement.
Which states have a Friday–Saturday weekend?
Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu have a Friday–Saturday weekend. Every other state and federal territory, including Johor since 1 January 2025, rests on Saturday and Sunday.
Is Deepavali a public holiday in Sarawak?
No. Deepavali is a federal public holiday in every state and federal territory except Sarawak.
Are the Hari Raya dates final?
Not always. Islamic holidays such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Haji and Awal Ramadan follow the sighting of the moon, so the Cabinet marks them "subject to change". We update this page when an official change is announced.
