Malaysia Public Holidays 2027: Six Federal Holidays Land on a Weekend, and Only Three Give You a Day Back
The 2027 schedule is out. We read the Prime Minister's Department's own Jadual Hari Kelepasan Am 2027, all 52 rows of it, on 12 September 2026. Chinese New Year falls on a Saturday and Sunday, Labour Day on a Saturday and Christmas on a Saturday, so six of the fifteen federal holiday dates land on a weekend. Only the three Sundays trigger the substitute day most private-sector workers are entitled to. Terengganu gets 21 holiday dates, Kuala Lumpur 18, Sarawak is the only state that does not observe Deepavali, and the school calendar for 2027 is still not published.
