Many Malaysians are eagerly gearing up for the upcoming new year and are busy planning their celebrations for this special occasion.
But did you know that Monday, 1 January 2024, is not a national public holiday?
While most states in Malaysia will be enjoying a day off, government offices and departments in these five states will still operate as usual:
- Johor
- Kedah
- Terengganu
- Kelantan
- Perlis
If you're employed by a private company in these five states, it's a good idea to confirm with your employer whether your company will observe a day off on New Year's Day
On the other hand, the rest of the states will enjoy a three-day break starting from Saturday, 30 December 2023, to Monday, 1 January 2024.
For those employed in the Klang Valley and looking to head back to their hometowns for the long break, make sure to plan your journey wisely!
