In addition to the public sector, Anwar also encouraged the private sector to adopt similar arrangements, as already practised by some companies and banking institutions.
“Other measures are being considered, including decisions to introduce more flexible work regulations such as working from home. Civil servants will be allowed to work from home on a gradual and selective basis, and I believe, God willing, that beyond the public sector, we are also urging the private sector to implement similar measures as have long been practised by several companies and banks,” he said.
