FEDERAL civil servants stationed in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, as well as Selangor and all state capitals with a one-way commute exceeding eight kilometres are eligible to work from home (WFH) beginning April 15.

The matter was stated in a circular dated today and signed by Public Service director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz, as part of measures to cushion the impact of the global energy crisis arising from the West Asia conflict.

“The Human Resource Services Circular (PPSM) SR.4.1.2: Work from Home Policy provides for the policy, conditions and regulations governing WFH.

“The phased implementation of WFH is a strategic measure by the government to strengthen preparedness in addressing the global energy crisis following the conflict in West Asia,” the circular read. 

It stated that several sectors are exempted, including security and defence services such as the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM), Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), Fire and Rescue Department, Prisons Department, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) and Immigration Department. — April 2, 2026
