After the raya holiday, when the will be the next public holiday?
The next national holiday is Vesak Day, which falls on Sunday, May 15. This year, Vesak Day is on Sunday, May 15, thus there will be an extra day off on May 16. (Monday). This brings a total of three long weekend holidays when combined with the weekly holiday on May 14 (Saturday).
However, because Sunday is a working day in these four states, residents of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu would not be able to take advantage of the compensating Vesak holiday on May 16 (Monday). On Monday, May 16, residents of other states will be allowed to take advantage of the Vesak compensatory holiday.
Vesak Day is a national public holiday in Malaysia, so all states can celebrate it on May 15. On May 15, all government departments and schools will be closed.
Vesak is a Buddhist festival commemorating the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and nirvana on this day. Buddha’s Birthday, Buddha’s Day, or Full Moon Day are all names for Vesak. Vesak Day is one of Buddhism’s most important festivals since it honours the Buddha’s birthday, enlightenment day, and nirvana day, as well as the Buddha’s birthday.
After Vesak holiday, the following public holiday is Agong’s Birthday, which falls on Monday, June 6th.
