How Malaysia builds its long weekends
Long weekends come from public holidays landing next to weekends (or substitute days extending them). The table above lists only real calendar breaks — a 5-day count means 5 separate runs of consecutive days off.
How to plan around them
The 5 breaks above are the ones the calendar gives you for free. The longest (Hari Raya Aidilfitri, 4 days, Feb 26–29) is the best anchor for a longer trip; the others work well for short getaways. Check the linked year page for make-up workdays that may surround the longer breaks.
