Malaysia has implemented a work-from-home policy across federal government offices to conserve energy amid a global energy crisis linked to the Middle East conflict. The measure, announced on April 18, 2026, applies to employees living more than eight kilometers from their offices in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Putrajaya, and other state capitals. However, counter-based public services, such as those at Urban Transformation Centres providing immigration and police services, remain fully operational.

In Putrajaya, the federal administrative capital, most ministries are operating with reduced on-site staff, resulting in quieter surroundings and lower electricity use. Many government buildings have dimmed lighting and are running only half of their elevators to further save power.

The policy excludes workers in security, defense, health, and education sectors. Eligible employees will be allowed to work from home three days a week. The initiative is described as a strategic step to manage energy consumption while maintaining essential public services.
