Which state gets the most days off in 2026?

All 16 regions of Malaysia ranked by days actually off in 2026 — holidays that fall on a rest day are counted separately. Weekend here is Saturday & Sunday.

More gazetted holidays does not always mean more days off: a holiday landing on a rest day is lost, and rest days themselves differ by region.
