The Most Important Dates in Malaysia 2018

Ever get in trouble for forgetting an important day? I have. I still shudder remembering a slightly uncomfortable situation with my mum on Mother’s Day. Not only was I stuck at work (-3 points), I also forgot to deliver a gift (-6 points) and did not call (hell on earth). After that, I was a fan of lists and reminders.

Here’s a list of the most important dates this year for Malaysians (when gifts are required):

• Valentine’s Day: 14 February 2018

Set reminders (I suggest double notifications if you have a crummy memory) on your fav calendar app or if you’re a die-hard pen and paper user, print out the gifting calendar and stick it to your wall for daily reminders.
