School holidays 2023
Source: - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, MALAYSIA

Listed below are the school terms and holidays for the year 2023, as announced by the Ministry of Education and published in the Government gazette.

Certain holidays are national holidays and are observed by the entire country while others apply only to certain states. Similarly, weekends and school holidays also tend to be different especially in those of the conservatively Muslim states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis as compared with the other states of Malaysia.
Another factor is that while some holidays have fixed dates, there are others that vary each year and are not fixed. These dates vary as to their religious or cultural background and by which of the Muslim, Indian or Chinese calendars is being used.
Have a look at the Chinese zodiac signs (Year of the Rabbit).

These dates are preliminary and are subject to change

The Malaysia school holidays 2023 and 2024 dates below are from the MOE website, so are considered the official dates. You can check all the dates by scrolling down, remembering to look at your correct table (whether Kumpulan A or Kumpulan B).
The MOE dates are split into two groups of states – Kumpulan A and Kumpulan B. Kumpulan A states are those that have Friday and Saturday as their weekend (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu). Kumpulan B states are those that have Saturday and Sunday as their weekend (all other states and territories).
