There are two months left in 2023, that is, there are less than 65 days until 2024. If you plan to travel in 2024, here are the details of the long weekend vacation in 2024.
There are 6 long weekend holidays in 2024. When a public holiday falls on a Friday or Monday, plus two days of weekly leave on weekends and Sundays, it will form a three-day continuous holiday. When a public holiday falls on a Sunday, you will get one day of compensatory leave on Monday, which will also form a three-day consecutive holiday.
According to Malaysia’s holiday laws, you are not entitled to compensatory leave when a public holiday falls on a Saturday. However, you can enjoy a compensatory leave on a Monday if a public holiday falls on a Sunday (not applicable to Johor, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu).
New Year’s Day in 2024 falls on January 1 (Monday), so plus the two-day weekly holiday on December 30 and 31, this will form a 3-day long weekend holiday.
The first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year falls on February 10 (Saturday), and the next day falls on February 11 (Sunday). February 12 (Monday) will also be a compensatory holiday, which will form a 3-day long weekend holiday.
The birthday of the head of state falls on June 3 (Monday), and including the weekend and Sunday, this is also a 3-day long weekend holiday. Muharram New Year falls on July 7 (Sunday), so July 8 (Monday) will be a compensatory holiday, which is also a 3-day long weekend holiday.
As Malaysia Day and the Birthday of Prophet Muhammad fall on September 16 (Monday) at the same time, September 17 (Tuesday) will be a compensatory holiday, which will form a 4-day long weekend holiday from weekend to Tuesday.
