Malaysia will introduce a work-from-home policy for government agencies, government-linked organizations, and state-related companies starting April 15, as part of efforts to address the global energy crisis. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the decision during a briefing, noting that detailed implementation guidelines will be released soon. He emphasized that the measure is part of a broader strategy to safeguard national energy security and protect citizens from sudden price hikes.
The government decided to act preemptively rather than wait for the impact of ongoing Middle East conflicts on households and businesses. The initiative falls under the country’s “Public Support Initiative.” Anwar warned that the global situation may worsen before improving and that recovery could take time. Malaysia has already implemented several measures, including a monthly fuel quota of 200 liters under the “Budi Madani 95” program and full implementation of subsidized diesel in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan.
According to the prime minister, these steps aim to reduce the impact of rising international oil prices and ensure subsidies reach intended beneficiaries. The government currently spends about 4 billion ringgit per month to manage fuel price pressures and protect consumers.
