Can anyone working in Johor confirm this?

My employer tells me Prophet Muhammad's birthday is not a public holiday in Johor and therefore, I have to work on that day.

There are only 11 compulsory public holidays according to section 60 of the employment act. Means for the rest, company can either give you public holiday or ask you to work. It's not about which state is having public holiday and which not.
I think Prophet Muhammad's birthday does not fall under one of the compulsory PH. But you can double check the employment act.

Confirmed public holiday. Your company MUST pay double or give off 1 day off in lieu.

Tell your HR u will report to Jabatan Buruh if they never honour.

Btw, it's time to look for new employer. Having HR that lied means your company not good.

Companies only need to observe 11 days compulsory la.

Prophet Muhammad its a national public holiday. Your employer hisap too much ketum? 1st Jan New Year not a public holiday in Johor.

If this day is not made a PH, confirm another racial riot day. It’s a religious holiday.

unless his/her employer give him/her double or triple salary rate on that day or replacement leave then not a problem. If not very problematic...

I was told Awal Muharram wasn't a public holiday for Johor and I went to work that day without getting a double pay.

But as some people said, maybe it's true that the employers only need to observe 11 holidays. Then they should have told me that and not what it's a not a public holiday in Johor

No, I was told Awal Muharram wasn't a PH in Johor and I went to work without getting double pay.

I wouldn't know that I had been lied to if I wasn't come across of an article saying Prophet Muhammad's Birthday is a national public holiday.

Now I'm extremely upset about this.
