2026 Working Days Calendar for Selangor, Malaysia

⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Holidays Act 1951 and Employment Act 1955 govern public holidays in Malaysia. Employees are entitled to a minimum of 11 public holidays per year, with five being compulsory: National Day, Agong's Birthday, State Ruler's Birthday, Labor Day, and Malaysia Day. Payment for work on a public holiday is at double the ordinary rate of pay for normal hours and triple the hourly rate for overtime.

📰 News

For 2026, a notable overlap of Thaipusam and Federal Territory Day occurs on February 1, requiring specific replacement holiday arrangements. The year also sees replacement holidays for several major festivals like Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Wesak Day, and Deepavali due to them falling on Sundays. Recent precedent includes sudden state holidays, such as one declared in Johor in 2025 for a football victory.

💡 Insights

Managing public holidays in Malaysia is described as 'almost an art form' due to the complex system of federal and state-specific holidays, often requiring replacement days when holidays fall on weekends. The culture includes practices like declaring sudden state holidays for events such as a local football team's victory, and the calendar reflects the nation's diverse cultural and administrative structure.
