JTKSM

JTKSM: Employment Act 1955, section 60D

Confirmed · Scope: coverage · Checked 2026-09-26

Employment Act section 60D describes five mandatory plus six employer-selected gazetted holidays in its applicable scope, with additional section 8 days separate. This is explanatory employment information, not a prerequisite for publishing official public-holiday dates. Generic choice and mandatory/dependent occurrence capabilities are implemented and preserved. Public-calendar coverage must state jurisdiction and date certainty; employer closures are not predicted.

Public holiday information

Malaysia's gazetted public-holiday calendar differs by state. This review adds Selangor, Sarawak and Sabah calendars where official schedules were verified. Selangor includes the 2026 Silver Jubilee and its dated replacement; Sarawak includes the published June holiday overlap replacements. Sabah's 2027 gazette has an unresolved Agong-date conflict, which remains provisional. A gazetted holiday list is not an employee entitlement selection: employer, employment-law and rest-day rules still apply. Other states and incomplete future state schedules are not certified.

Offices

Gazetted public-holiday information, not a guarantee that every private employee receives every listed date off. Select the applicable state; employment selection and rest-day arrangements may differ.

Banks

Use the bank or payment-system operating notice for branch hours and settlement cut-offs. The public-holiday list does not certify each institution's closure.

Schools

Public holidays are separate from school terms and vacations. No new school-break calendar is certified in this review; use the responsible education authority or school schedule.

Practical planning

Use the calendar and dated regional exceptions before booking. Long-weekend results use stored applicable occurrences; provisional dates and local exceptions require the stated qualification.

Does an additional or substitute date replace the observance?

The recorded date role distinguishes additional holidays, substitute days and observances. Follow the official source and coverage note for the selected jurisdiction.

What should I check before arranging leave?

Read the date status and coverage note, then check employer, bank, school and transport arrangements. Dates awaiting an official announcement are explicitly identified; a missing date does not mean a normal working day.
