About Malaysia Public Holidays
Malaysia's holiday system combines federal holidays with state and Federal Territory holidays. The 2027 gazetted reference includes major religious festivals such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year, Wesak Day, Deepavali and Christmas, plus National Day on 31 August and Malaysia Day on 16 September. The official birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is listed on 1 June 2027.
Each of Malaysia's 13 states and 3 federal territories also has local holidays, including ruler birthdays and regional festivals. Federal Territory Day on 1 February applies only to Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. Weekend patterns and replacement-day treatment also vary, so employees should verify entitlement for their state and workplace.
