Many parents have been looking forward to this for some time now to plan ahead for the holidays, book cheap air tickets ahead of time etc. You can download a pdf copy of the Malaysia School Holiday 2016 list from the Malaysia Ministry Of Education website (Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia) here: Malaysia MOE Takwim Sekolah 2016
