About Malaysian Public Holidays
Understanding Malaysia's rich cultural calendar
Malaysia observes several federal public holidays that are celebrated nationwide. These include New Year's Day, Labour Day, Merdeka Day (Independence Day), Malaysia Day, and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's Birthday.
Malaysia's multicultural society celebrates various religious holidays including Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Aidiladha, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas, and Wesak Day, reflecting the country's diverse religious heritage.
Some holidays are observed only in specific states or federal territories. For example, Federal Territory Day is celebrated in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan, while Good Friday is observed in Sabah and Sarawak.
Each holiday carries deep cultural and historical significance, from commemorating Malaysia's independence to celebrating religious traditions that have been practiced for centuries in the region.
