15 May is Wesak Day! Wesak Day is a national public holiday and, with the weekend and compensatory holidays, makes for a total of 3 long weekends off.
As Wesak falls on Sunday 15 May this year, you will have an additional day off on Monday 16 May. When added to the weekly holiday on Saturday 14 May, this makes a 3-day long weekend holiday.
However, it is important to note that Johor, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu will not be able to enjoy the Wesak Day holiday on Monday 16 May because Sunday is a working day in these four states. People in the other states will be able to take the Wesak Day holiday on Monday, 16 May.
