What happens if Kelantan Public Holidays falls on the weekend?
If a Kelantan public holiday falls on a weekend (Friday or Saturday), a replacement holiday is typically given on the following working day (Sunday). This is similar to what happens in other states like Johor, Kedah, and Terengganu where the weekend is also on Friday and Saturday. However, the declaration of a replacement holiday is subject to the state government’s decision.
