Planning your Malaysia workforce for 2027?

For companies employing staff in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, here is the list of 2027 public holidays observed in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, based on the official public holiday schedule published by the Bahagian Kabinet, Perlembagaan dan Perhubungan Antara Kerajaan (BKPP), Prime Minister’s Department of Malaysia.

The complete Kuala Lumpur calendar above is useful for companies that choose to observe all gazetted Kuala Lumpur public holidays.

Under Section 60D of the Employment Act 1955, the statutory minimum is 11 paid public holidays per calendar year, including five compulsory holidays: National Day, Labour Day, Malaysia Day, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s Birthday, and the birthday of the State Ruler or Federal Territory Day, as applicable.

An employer may offer more than the statutory minimum, and many companies in Kuala Lumpur choose to observe the full Kuala Lumpur gazetted public holiday calendar as part of their employment benefits.
