PETALING JAYA: A three-day work from home (WFH) arrangement effective April 15 has been introduced for civil servants who live more than 8km from their office, says the Public Service Department. These government servants must also be working in offices in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and all state capitals, according to a circular signed by the department’s director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz yesterday. In the circular, Wan Ahmad Dahlan said civil servants working in the security and defence, health and education sectors are exempted from the arrangement. Wan Ahmad Dahlan said the WFH arrangement for states observing weekends on Sunday would apply from Tuesday to Thursday, while states observing weekends on Friday (Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu) would apply from Monday to Wednesday. He had also cautioned that the global situation was expected to worsen and that the recovery period will be prolonged.
