July 10 is Hajj holiday. Since July 10, Hajj falls on a Sunday, we got an additional holiday on July 11 (Monday). Most states in the country are entitled to the holiday on July 11, except for Johor. This is because Sunday is not a weekly holiday in Johor.
On July 11, all government departments, schools and banks in the country (except Johor) will be closed for the day. If you are planning to visit government offices on this day, you will have to change your schedule.
Hajj is a holiday for fellow Muslims. It falls in the last month of the Islamic calendar, the tenth day of the month of Hajj. It is also known as Hari Raya Korban or Hari Raya Aidiladha, which means sacrifice, i.e. the slaughter of animals as a sacrifice to Allah.
