Holiday data sources

Official Malaysian authorities determine official holiday status. Cultural sources and generators add festival context but cannot independently create a public holiday.

Official public holidays

BKPP annual calendars and reviewed federal gazettes are authoritative for national, state, replacement, and specially proclaimed public holidays.

School holidays

KPM academic calendars determine term breaks and school-holiday periods for the relevant state groups.

Religious and cultural dates

JAKIM supplies Malaysia-specific Islamic calendar dates. Malaysia Hindu Sangam is used only when it publishes a current, verifiable calendar. Chinese and Christian observances may be calculated locally, but public-holiday status still comes from BKPP.

Independent cross-check

PublicHolidays.com.my is compared against the published calendar to identify possible omissions. It is never allowed to override an official authority source.
