Malaysia Public Holidays 2026 (Cuti Umum Malaysia)

Are Public Holidays the Same in All States?

No. Federal holidays (cuti persekutuan) are observed in all states. State holidays (cuti negeri) apply only in that state—for example, Thaipusam in some states, Good Friday in Sabah and Sarawak, and various sultan and governor birthdays. The calendar on this page shows all public holidays; use the state filter to see only holidays for a chosen state.
