πŸ‘‹ Introduction Annual leave is precious, and Malaysians have mastered the art of stretching it.

πŸ“‹ Leave Planning Hacks When a public holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off can create a 4-day weekend. If it’s on a Tuesday, taking Monday off achieves the same effect.

❓ Why It Works This technique allows for more rest and travel time without exhausting your leave balance. Many Malaysians plan their trips abroad or balik kampung journeys this way.

✈️ Travel Destinations Short-haul destinations like Penang, Melaka, and Langkawi are popular for quick getaways. Longer breaks are perfect for overseas trips to Thailand, Indonesia, or Vietnam.

🎯 Conclusion Maximizing annual leave is all about timing. MalaysiaPublicHoliday.com makes it easier with downloadable calendars and countdowns to upcoming holidays.
