In response to the Singapore Public Holidays calendar, I’ve also compiled a Malaysian Public Holidays calendar. This was trickier as it had state holidays as well as National holidays. It’s my first go at the Malaysian holidays calendar, so if I get any wrong, please post politely in the comments – it was not intentional.
I hope you find this useful.

My name is Stephanie Krishnan and I'm passionate about the way that open source software and its community can help small businesses and individuals with their productivity and lives. One of the biggest arguments I get from business owners, however, is lack of support options. I decided to put together my own support blog to help people be productive at various levels with one of my favourite open source alternatives: OpenOffice.org! I do this through tutorials, downloadable templates and answers to questions from readers!
