What happens if Pahang Public Holidays falls on the weekend?
In Malaysia, if a public holiday falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), the following workday (usually Monday) is usually declared as a substitute public holiday. This is applicable for Pahang as well.
However, the final decision rests with the state or federal government and is only sometimes guaranteed. It’s best to check the official announcements for the specific year.
