Malaysia long weekends 2027 by state

Malaysia’s 2027 public holidays depend on your state, and so does your weekend: Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu rest on Friday and Saturday. Pick your state and leave balance, and the planner finds the leave days that turn holidays into the longest breaks.

The 2027 breaks most of Malaysia gets

  • Chinese New Year (6–8 February): Saturday, Sunday and a replacement holiday on Monday 8 February in most states, so a free 3-day weekend. Four days of leave (9–12 February) make it 9 days.
  • Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 March): take Friday 12 March and Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 March for a 9-day break with 3 days of leave. Melaka already has Friday as a third Raya holiday.
  • Hari Raya Haji and Wesak (Monday 17 and Thursday 20 May): 3 days of leave (18, 19 and 21 May) give 9 days off; in Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Terengganu, Raya Haji has a second day.
  • Awal Muharram and the Agong’s Birthday (6–8 June): a Sunday holiday, the Monday birthday and a Tuesday replacement give most states a 4-day weekend with no leave.
  • Merdeka and Malaysia Day: Tuesday 31 August and Thursday 16 September each sit one day from a weekend, so a single day of leave makes a 4-day break.

Weekends and replacement holidays by state

  • Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu have a Friday–Saturday weekend; the planner switches to a Sunday-to-Thursday week for them.
  • Johor moved to a Saturday–Sunday weekend from 1 January 2025.
  • When a holiday falls on the weekly rest day or on another holiday, the next working day is given as a replacement (cuti ganti). The official schedule lists the holidays themselves; the replacement days here follow that rule and state announcements. The replacement days shown for Kelantan and Terengganu after Saturday holidays (8 February, 2 May, 26 and 27 December) are as reported for those states, so confirm them with HR or the state government before booking.
  • Under the Employment Act, employees are entitled to 11 paid public holidays a year, five of them fixed (National Day, the Agong’s Birthday, the state Ruler or Governor’s Birthday, Workers’ Day and Malaysia Day).
