Falling on a weekend in 2026: Thaipusam (Sunday, 1 Feb), Nuzul Al-Quran Day (Saturday, 7 Mar), Eid al-Fitr (Saturday, 21 Mar), Eid al-Fitr (Second Day) (Sunday, 22 Mar), Vesak Day (Sunday, 31 May) and Diwali (Sunday, 8 Nov).
Not a public holiday in every state, but in Selangor: New Year's Day, Thaipusam, Thaipusam (observed), Nuzul Al-Quran Day, Diwali, Diwali (observed) and Birthday of The Sultan of Selangor.
For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 21 (Kedah) to 25 (Sabah and Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan). Selangor lies in between with 23.
Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.
Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
