States & Federal Territories
Public holidays vary across Malaysia. Select your state or territory for a tailored calendar that combines national holidays with local gazetted days.
Malaysia has two kinds of public holiday: national holidays that apply nationwide, and state holidays that each of the 13 states and 3 federal territories gazette separately. That is why the total number of days off in a year depends on where you live or work.
State-level holidays typically include the birthday of the Sultan or Yang di-Pertua Negeri, along with regional festivals that matter to that state's residents. A day that is a public holiday in one state can be an ordinary working day in another. Select your state or territory above to see the full list of dates that actually apply where you are, including in-lieu days and long-weekend suggestions.
