In 2018, we have a total of five official long weekends
Dates below:

For those residing in Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis, and Terengganu, you don't get off for New Year's Day. Sorry. :(
However, you could get six more long weekends, if you take leave on selected Mondays!
A number of public holidays next year fall on Tuesdays. Plan out your leave days, take off on Monday, and you'll well on your way to a long weekend getaway!

1. Labour Day - 1 May 2018 (Tuesday)
2. Wesak Day - 29 May 2018 (Tuesday)
3. Awal Muharram - 11 September (Tuesday)
