There are eight public holidays in May, four of which are national public holidays and the remaining four are state-specific public holidays.
May 1 is the Labor Day holiday, which falls on a Sunday, so you get a day off on May 2. May 3 and 4 are the Eid holidays, which are four days in a row from May 1 to May 4.
May 15 is the Wesak holiday, which is also a national public holiday. May 15 falls on a Sunday, so May 16 will also be a compensatory holiday. May 17 is the birth anniversary of Raja in Perlis, May 22 is the Pahang Festival Day, and May 30 and 31 are the Sabah Harvest Festival.
