Selangor to implement work-from-home policy for civil servants – Tuesday to Thursday weekly from April 15

The Selangor state government has announced it will implement work-from-home (WFH) arrangements for civil servants from April 15 to address the impact of the West Asian conflict on energy supply and rising prices of goods.

As reported by Bernama, Selangor menteri besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the WFH policy will be applicable from Tuesday to Thursday each week. This is said to lower fuel consumption, reduce traffic congestion and strengthen public servants’ productivity. The policy will be reviewed monthly to assess its necessity and effectiveness.

“The state government will also halt official overseas travel for all departments, except for matters related to the promotion of investment and tourism from abroad to Selangor. At the state government level, every department must coordinate efforts and programmes and operate in crisis mode. This is to ensure the local economy, supporting industries and employment opportunities for the people of Selangor continue,” said Amirudin.

He also encouraged the private sector to adopt similar measures where appropriate, adding that the state government is prepared to support the adaptation of digital technology. A review of the 2026 state budget and formation of a Selangor Energy Crisis Special Task Force will also be carried out to address matters relating to the cost of living, aid for affected citizens, support for industries and opportunities for a faster energy transition.
