Parsing Malaysian Public Holidays

Holidays based on country

If you want the list of holidays based on countries, you may refer here https://github.com/afiqiqmal/country-holiday

How to Use ✨

Declare

$holiday = new MalaysiaHoliday;
MalaysiaHoliday::make();
app(MalaysiaHoliday::class); // if bound with laravel refer here - https://laravel.com/docs/13.x/container#contextual-binding

Holidays in current year

$holiday = new MalaysiaHoliday; // MalaysiaHoliday::make()
$holiday->fromAllState()->get();
MalaysiaHoliday::make()->fromAllState()->get();

Holidays in specific years

$holiday = new MalaysiaHoliday;
$holiday->fromAllState(2017)->get();
$holiday->fromAllState([2017, 2019])->get();
$holiday->fromAllState()->ofYear(2017)->get();
MalaysiaHoliday::make()->fromAllState()->ofYear(2017)->get();

Holidays by region

$holiday = new MalaysiaHoliday;
$holiday->fromState("Selangor")->get();
$holiday->fromState(["Selangor","Malacca"])->get();

Holidays by region and year

$holiday = new MalaysiaHoliday;
$holiday->fromState("Selangor","2017")->get();
$holiday->fromState("Selangor", [2017, 2019])->get();
$holiday->fromState(["Selangor","Malacca"], [2017, 2019])->get();
$holiday->fromState(["Selangor","Malacca"])->ofYear([2017, 2019])->get();

Group and filter results

$holiday = new MalaysiaHoliday;
$holiday->fromAllState()->groupByMonth()->get();
$holiday->fromAllState()->filterByMonth("January")->get();  //date('F')

School Holidays 🏫

Malaysia school holidays (Kumpulan A & Kumpulan B), including term and festive holidays

MalaysiaSchoolHoliday::make()->get(); // all groups, current year
MalaysiaSchoolHoliday::make()->fromState("Selangor")->get();
MalaysiaSchoolHoliday::make()->fromState(["Selangor", "Kedah"])->get();
MalaysiaSchoolHoliday::make()->ofYear(2026)->get();

Data is taken from publicholidays.com.my (current academic year only, with festival names). Other years fall back to calendarmalaysia.com (2025 onwards, names in Malay such as CUTI PENGGAL 1 / TAMBAHAN CUTI PERAYAAN). The source key shows which one was used. A year with no data returns status: false with a message.

Sample

{
   "status":true,
   "year":2026,
   "source":"https://publicholidays.com.my/school-holidays/",
   "data":[
      {
         "regional":"Selangor",
         "group":"Kumpulan B",
         "collection":[
            {
               "name":"Term 1 Holidays",
               "start_date":"2026-03-21",
               "end_date":"2026-03-29",
               "start_day":"Saturday",
               "end_day":"Sunday",
               "total_days":9,
               "is_holiday":true,
               "type":"Term Holiday",
               "states":["Johor", "Kuala Lumpur", "..."]
            }
         ]
      }
   ],
   "error_messages":[]
}
