Malaysia Public Holidays 2027 — Long Weekends & Annual Leave Planner

There are 19 federal (national) public holidays in 2027, celebrated across all Malaysian states. Each state adds 1–5 additional state-level holidays depending on its ruling monarch's birthday, harvest festivals, and cultural events.

The first federal public holiday in 2027 is New Year's Day on 2027-01-01.

Take 1–2 days of AL next to public holidays that already border a weekend. The planner solves the optimal year of long weekends for your AL budget — try it with your state's holidays selected for the most accurate result.

Yes. Each state has its own birthday (Yang di-Pertua Negeri / Yang di-Pertuan Agong) and several cultural holidays (Thaipusam, Gawai, Hari Pesta Kaamatan, etc.) that only apply to workers in that state. Federal holidays are observed everywhere.

These move each year based on lunar/Islamic calendars. The dates shown here are based on the official gazette but may shift by 1–2 days when the actual moon sighting is announced. Always confirm with your HR/payroll closer to the date.
