PETALING JAYA: With 2018 coming to an end, the time has come for many of us to plan our holidays in the year ahead.

There are six official long weekends in 2019 - Wesak Day (Monday, May 20), Hari Raya Haji (Sunday and Monday, Aug 11 and 12), National Day and Awal Muharram (Saturday to Monday, Aug 31 to Sept 2), the Yang Dipertuan Agong's birthday (Monday, Sept 9), Malaysia Day (Monday, Sept 16) and Deepavali (Sunday and Monday, Oct 27 and 28). The Deepavali holiday, however, is not applicable for Sarawak.
