Between 27 May and 2 June, multiple holidays fall close together:
- Hari Raya Haji (Day 1 & 2)
- Wesak Day (Sunday)
- Agong’s Birthday (Monday)
- Replacement holiday (Tuesday)
👉 This creates a 5–6 day disruption window, especially for teams operating across multiple states.
Where most companies get caught off guard:
- Leave clustering before and after holidays
- Uneven manpower across locations (state-specific observances)
- Last-minute scheduling pressure on critical functions
What we’re seeing from employers who are planning:
- Locking in coverage for key roles early
- Aligning managers on leave approvals across teams
- Identifying potential gaps before the holiday period hits
By the time scheduling pressure builds, most options are already limited.
