Malaysia Calendar

Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak share a single time zone — Malaysia Time (UTC+8) — with no daylight saving. As one of the world's most religiously and ethnically diverse countries, its holiday calendar reflects Malay-Muslim, Chinese and Indian traditions alongside the Gregorian civic calendar.

The holidays shown here are observed nationwide; Malaysia's 13 states and 3 federal territories each add further state-specific holidays (such as Thaipusam or a local Sultan's birthday) on top. Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Hari Raya Haji, Awal Muharram and Maulidur Rasul depend on official moon sighting and aren't confirmed this far in advance, so we omit them here — see our Data Sources page.
