Dates that depend on the new moon (such as Hari Raya) are marked Expected until declared. Replacement holidays follow official federal and state announcements.
Replacement holidays
In Peninsular Malaysia and the Federal Territories, when a public holiday falls on the weekly rest day (Sunday, or Friday in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu), the next day becomes a replacement holiday under the Holidays Act 1951. Sabah and Sarawak have their own ordinances. Replacement holidays that we work out from this rule are marked Expected until they are officially announced.
School groups
Group A is Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu. Group B is every other state, including Johor and the Federal Territories. School holiday dates are taken from the Ministry of Education Academic Calendar.
