What is the weekend in Kedah?

Friday and Saturday. Kedah is one of the three states (with Kelantan and Terengganu) where Friday is the weekly holiday; Sunday is a working day. This page counts working days and long weekends with that weekend.

What happens when a public holiday falls on the weekend?

In Kedah the weekly holiday is Friday. A holiday on a Friday or Saturday gets a replacement day only if the state announces one, so none is drawn here; a holiday on a Sunday is a day off on a working day.

Which replacement days (cuti ganti) are there in Kedah in 2027?

None is drawn for Kedah: its weekly holiday is Friday, and any replacement day for a holiday on its weekend is announced by the state. Holidays on its weekend in 2027: Saturday 6 February (Chinese New Year), Saturday 1 May (Labour Day) and Saturday 25 December (Christmas).

When are Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Chinese New Year and Deepavali in 2027?

Hari Raya Puasa: Wednesday 10 March and Thursday 11 March. Hari Raya Haji (Hari Raya Qurban): Monday 17 May and Tuesday 18 May. Chinese New Year: Saturday 6 February and Sunday 7 February. Deepavali: Thursday 28 October. The government list marks Awal Ramadan (Monday 8 February), Hari Raya Puasa (Wednesday 10 March and Thursday 11 March), Hari Raya Haji (Monday 17 May and Tuesday 18 May) and Deepavali (Thursday 28 October) «Tertakluk kepada perubahan» (subject to change), so they are dashed here until the date is confirmed. The Islamic dates follow the Keeper of the Rulers' Seal's announcement after the moon sighting and can move by a day.

What are the long weekends in Kedah in 2027?

9 long weekends in Kedah with no leave, counting its Friday and Saturday weekend and replacement days: Chinese New Year and Awal Ramadan, Fri, 5 Feb – Mon, 8 Feb (4 days); Hari Raya Puasa, Wed, 10 Mar – Sat, 13 Mar (4 days); Wesak Day, Thu, 20 May – Sat, 22 May (3 days); Awal Muharram and the Agong's Birthday, Fri, 4 Jun – Mon, 7 Jun (4 days); the Sultan of Kedah's Birthday, Fri, 18 Jun – Sun, 20 Jun (3 days); Maulidur Rasul, Fri, 13 Aug – Sun, 15 Aug (3 days); Malaysia Day, Thu, 16 Sep – Sat, 18 Sep (3 days); Deepavali, Thu, 28 Oct – Sat, 30 Oct (3 days); Christmas, and Isra and Mi'raj, Fri, 24 Dec – Sun, 26 Dec (3 days). The leave-day ideas are in the long weekends section.

What is a cuti peristiwa?

A cuti peristiwa is a one-off holiday a state declares under the Holidays Act 1951 (section 9), for example for a royal occasion or a sports win, usually at short notice. None is announced for 2027 in Kedah yet; in 2026 there were 5 (Johor 25 May, Johor 13 July, Negeri Sembilan 3 August, Selangor 1 September, Selangor 25 October). The Labour Department (JTKSM) notes that they are optional for private employers.

Do private sector employees get every public holiday?

In Peninsular Malaysia and Labuan, private employers follow the Employment Act 1955, section 60D. The Labour Department (JTKSM) explains it in its notices: five paid public holidays are compulsory and the employer chooses six more from the gazetted list; a paid holiday that falls on a rest day moves to the next working day, and with the employee's agreement one of the six chosen holidays can be swapped for another day (the five compulsory ones cannot). Special state holidays (cuti peristiwa) are optional for private employers. Sabah and Sarawak have their own labour laws. This calendar shows the public holiday list; your employer's holiday list may differ.

When are the school holidays in 2027?

School holidays are not on this calendar. The Ministry of Education (KPM) publishes them in its school calendar (Kalendar Akademik), which also lists the two weekend groups.

Can I print the 2027 calendar for free?

Yes. Three free A4 PDFs for Kedah: a year calendar (landscape and portrait) and a monthly calendar of 12 pages, with every holiday written in full and weeks starting on Sunday. They mark Friday and Saturday as the weekend.

How many working days are there in Kedah in 2027?

244, Sunday to Thursday, after the 16 days off that fall on those days; the number for each month is next to the month's name in the calendar. Some workplaces also work on Saturdays or half days.

Sources and method

All sources checked 21 October 2026.

Public holiday dates come from the Prime Minister's Department (BKPP) lists for each year and the later federal and state gazettes and notices linked below; replacement days not announced separately are worked out from the Holidays Act 1951 and the Sabah and Sarawak ordinances. The layout, the PDFs, the working-day counts and the long-weekend ideas are made by ToolNeko; this is not a government publication.

Working days: the five days outside the weekend (Monday to Friday; Sunday to Thursday in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu) minus the public holidays and replacement days of the page; the All of Malaysia page counts the national holidays only. Replacement days (cuti ganti): a holiday on the weekly holiday moves to the next day that is not already a holiday (Holidays Act 1951, section 3); in Sabah a Sunday holiday moves to the next day, and in Sarawak to the following Monday for the days the ordinance's First Schedule lists above its note. Where no notice confirms a replacement day it is dashed as expected. In Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu a holiday on a Friday or Saturday gets a replacement day only if the state announces one, so none is drawn. Some workplaces also work on Saturdays or half days, and private employers follow the Employment Act 1955. Long weekends: three or more days off in a row with a public holiday; leave plans: the fewest leave days that join a holiday to the weekend.
