Questions about 2027 holidays
How many public holidays does Johor have in 2027?
Johor has 18 public holidays in 2027: the national holidays plus Thaipusam, Awal Ramadan, the Sultan of Johor's Birthday and Hari Hol Almarhum Sultan Iskandar. Seven of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday. The four that fall on a Sunday each give a replacement day off on the next working day, so Johor workers get 15 weekdays off.
When is Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2027?
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is expected on Wednesday 10 March and Thursday 11 March 2027. The dates depend on the moon sighting and can move by a day.
How many working days are there in 2027 in Johor?
Counting Monday to Friday and taking out the public and replacement holidays, Johor has 246 working days in 2027. The month with the fewest is February (18) and the most is December (23).
Is New Year's Day a holiday in Johor?
No. 1 January is not on Johor's list of public holidays for 2027, so it is a normal working day in Johor. It is a holiday in the Federal Territories and several other states.
What are the long weekends in Johor in 2027?
Thaipusam gives Friday 22 to Sunday 24 January. Chinese New Year, Awal Ramadan and the replacement day give Saturday 6 to Tuesday 9 February. Awal Muharram, the Agong's Birthday and the replacement day give Saturday 5 to Tuesday 8 June. Hari Hol and Maulidur Rasul each give a Saturday-to-Monday weekend in July and August.
