MELAKA: The Melaka government is studying a proposal to allow civil servants to work from home, in line with federal efforts to address the impact of global oil supply disruptions following the Middle East crisis. He added that the private sector is also encouraged to adopt the arrangement to achieve broader savings during the crisis. In a related development, Azhar said there is no need for cloud seeding in Melaka as water levels at all major dams remain stable and sufficient. However, he advised the public to use water prudently amid the prolonged hot weather expected until June. "People are also advised to limit prolonged outdoor activities and stay hydrated to avoid heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke," he said.
