Malaysia is implementing a work-from-home (WFH) directive starting April 15, potentially involving up to 200,000 public servants. However, approval will depend on department heads, who will assess operational needs and job suitability. Chief Secretary Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar expressed confidence that employees will maintain integrity and continue fulfilling their responsibilities effectively while working remotely. He emphasized that WFH should not lead to delays or cancellations of important programmes, but rather encourage adjustments to align with cost-saving measures while ensuring essential work continues.
Heavenly Father, we pray for all public servants working from home in Malaysia. Help them to work with honesty, discipline, and integrity in all their responsibilities. Amen (The Holy Bible, Luke 16:10).
Lord, help workers maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. Grant them peace, focus, and strength in their daily routines. Amen (The Holy Bible, Matthew 11:28).
