2026 Working Days Calendar for Kelantan, Malaysia

⚖️ Legal Regulations

The primary legal framework is the Holidays Act 1951 and the Employment Act 1955. Employees are entitled to a minimum of 11 public holidays per year, including five compulsory ones: National Day, Agong's Birthday, State Ruler's Birthday, Labor Day, and Malaysia Day. If a holiday falls on a rest day, employees are entitled to a replacement holiday. Payment for work on a public holiday is double the ordinary rate for normal hours and triple the hourly rate for overtime.

📰 News

A notable overlap of Thaipusam and Federal Territory Day on February 1, 2026, will require specific replacement rules, leading to additional working days in the weekend. The article also references a recent example of a suddenly declared Johor public holiday in 2025 for JDT's FA Cup win, illustrating the dynamic nature of holiday declarations.

💡 Insights

Managing public holidays in Malaysia is described as 'almost an art form' due to the complex federal and multi-ethnic structure, with holidays often specific to states or groups. The culture includes practices like strategically declaring sudden state holidays for events like a football team's victory. The calendar system often creates long weekends through replacement holidays when holidays fall on weekends.
