Sources: Bernama News Agency and Malaysia public holidays. Earlier today, Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, confirmed that the upcoming Aidilfitri public holiday (also know as Hari Raya Puasa or Eid al-Fitr) would last for 3 days across Malaysia, as those states whose weekend day off is Friday (Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah) would be off from Friday the 12th to Sunday the 14th, while the other 10 states and 3 federal territories, whose weekend day off is Sunday, would be off from Saturday the 13th until Monday the 15th.The Chief Secretary re-iterated the rule that there is only one weekly day off (either Friday or Sunday, depending on the states) and that the fact that the Aidilfitri public holiday occurs on a Saturday and Sunday, in 2007, only gives a right to one day in lieu, as Saturdays are working days in all Malaysian states.
