Kumpulan B

Two groupings of states, known as Kumpulan A and Kumpulan B, make up the MOE dates. Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu are Kumpulan A states, which have Friday and Saturday as their weekends. All other states and territories are considered Kumpulan B states because they observe Saturday and Sunday as their weekends.

About Public Holidays in Malaysia

The government of Malaysia formally grants its citizens public holidays, which are days off from work. Various state and federal legislation regulate the distribution and timing of public holidays in Malaysia. The following:

  • Act 369 – Holidays Act 1951
  • Sarawak Holidays Ordinance
  • State of Sabah Holidays Ordinance

In general, if a public holiday falls on a weekday (Monday through Friday), that day becomes a non-working day, and  studentss and staff members are not required to report to work or school on that day (although many people in the retail and other sectors still work on many of the public holidays because shopping centers and many services still operate).

With the exception of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu, all states follow this rule, with the weekday beginning on Sunday as opposed to Monday. People who typically work on Saturdays are entitled to a day off when a public holiday falls on that day. A replacement holiday is observed the next day, on Monday, if a public holiday falls on a Sunday.

In this way, the number of days off each year because of public holidays remains basically the same, with no reduction in days-off because of public holidays falling on existing off-days.
