SHAH ALAM: The Selangor state government has announced preliminary measures, including a work-from-home (WFH) policy for civil servants, to address the impact of the West Asian conflict on energy supply and rising prices of goods. Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the state government has agreed to implement the WFH policy from April 15, applicable from Tuesday to Thursday each week, to lower fuel consumption, reduce traffic congestion, and strengthen public servants’ productivity. He said the policy will be reviewed monthly to assess its necessity and effectiveness. He added that a Selangor Energy Crisis Special Task Force will be formed, comprising experts from the socio-economic, industrial, energy, food commodity, banking, and academic sectors, to ensure comprehensive measures are taken. Amirudin also called for solidarity among Selangor residents in facing challenges from the West Asian conflict, particularly its impact on energy supplies.
