Kalendar Sabah 2027: Cuti Umum & Cuti Sekolah (Full Year)
Apakah cuti umum Sabah 2027?
Sabah has 20 gazetted public holidays in 2027, including the Sabah-only days: Good Friday (26 March), Hari Jadi TYT (30 March), Pesta Kaamatan (30–31 May) and Christmas Eve (24 December). Schools in Sabah follow Group B and run from 4 January to 3 December 2027.
A national calendar shows the wrong days off for Sabah. It misses Kaamatan, the TYT's birthday, Good Friday and Christmas Eve, and it may show holidays Sabah doesn't observe, such as Thaipusam or Nuzul Al-Quran. This page shows only what applies in Sabah, taken from the Sabah state gazette (checked 10 October 2026).
Sabah's gazette (March 2026) puts the Agong's Birthday on Tuesday 1 June 2027. The federal list published in August 2026 puts it on Monday 7 June 2027 and adds Hari Raya Haji Day 2 (18 May). Sabah hasn't amended its list yet. What changes if Sabah follows the federal list.

Senarai cuti umum Sabah 2027

Replacement days are worked out from the Sabah rule (a Sunday holiday moves to the next day; a Saturday holiday is not replaced) and are not printed in the gazette itself.

Federal list vs Sabah gazette
Two official lists disagree on part of 2027, and the dates on this page follow Sabah's own gazette until Sabah changes it.
- Sabah gazette (Notice No. 100, 26 March 2026): Agong's Birthday on Tuesday 1 June; Hari Raya Haji on 17 May only. The gazette says it is aligned with the federal holiday schedule for 2027.
- Federal list (Cabinet Division, published August 2026): Agong's Birthday on Monday 7 June, and Hari Raya Haji Day 2 on Tuesday 18 May as a federal holiday.
If Sabah follows the federal list, the replacement days work out differently: Kaamatan's replacement would be Tue 1 June, and because 7 June would already be the Agong's Birthday, the Awal Muharam replacement would move to Tue 8 June. That is our own reading of the replacement rule, not an announced date. We will update this page when Sabah publishes an amendment (last checked 10 October 2026).
FAQ
Q Berapa hari cuti umum di Sabah pada 2027?
Warta Kerajaan Negeri Sabah bagi 2027 menyenaraikan 20 hari cuti umum, termasuk cuti ganti jika cuti jatuh pada hari Ahad. 5 daripadanya hanya untuk Sabah: Good Friday, Hari Jadi TYT, dua hari Pesta Kaamatan dan Christmas Eve.
Q When is Hari Jadi TYT Sabah 2027?
Tuesday 30 March 2027. Both the Sabah gazette and the federal list for 2027 give 30 March. The official celebration moved to 30 March in 2025 (Malay Mail, 19 March 2025), so older calendars may still show October.
Q Is Kaamatan 2027 a long weekend?
Yes. Kaamatan falls on Sunday 30 and Monday 31 May 2027. Because Day 1 is a Sunday, Sabah gives a replacement day after it. The exact replacement date depends on the Agong's Birthday question explained on this page.
Q Bila sekolah dibuka 2027 di Sabah?
Sabah dalam Kumpulan B. Sesi persekolahan 2027 bermula Isnin 4 Januari hingga Jumaat 3 Disember 2027, mengikut Kalendar Akademik 2027 Kementerian Pendidikan.
