About The Public Holiday

The Public Holiday is a calendar reference published by The Public Holiday Team. We organise national, state and school-holiday dates into tables that can be compared by year and location.

How we handle the dates

Entries are based on calendars, gazettes and notices published by the relevant government authorities. We keep the original observance, geographic coverage and replacement date as separate fields so that nationwide holidays are not presented as though they were the same as state-only dates.

For Malaysia, the state filter combines nationwide dates with the additional observances recorded for 13 states and 3 federal territories. For Singapore, one national calendar is used and replacement days are shown when they are present in the published data.

School-holiday pages name the ministry source used. If a future calendar has not been published, we leave it out rather than filling the gap with an assumed schedule. Any date labelled as estimated should be checked again after the responsible authority releases its calendar.

This site is a practical reference, not a substitute for an employer's notice or a government announcement. For work, travel or bookings that cannot be changed, confirm the date with the responsible authority or organisation.
