(Photo: Varuth Hirunyatheb)Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has advised the private sector to adopt work-from-home measures and support nationwide energy-saving efforts, to weather the energy crisis. The situation had raised the risk to global supply, he said, and warned that beyond rising prices, securing oil imports may become difficult. Mr Anutin said the cabinet had already approved work-from-home arrangements for government agencies, and other energy-saving measures. He urged businesses and the public to follow suit, through work-from-home arrangements, reduced use of private vehicles, increased use of public transport and carpooling, and more electricity-saving efforts.
