PUTRAJAYA – Government offices will remain fully operational throughout the movement control order (MCO) period nationwide, from tomorrow until June 7, to ensure that the government service delivery system is not affected, said Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali.
Zuki said that the heads of departments must ensure that government offices remain fully operational based on the guidelines set, such as the circular letter issued by the Public Service Department director-general dated January 12.
“Heads of departments must use prudence and wisdom in planning human resource needs to ensure staff attendance to the office can be minimised through the rotation system, and must issue internal instructions detailing priorities according to their respective departmental sectors,” he said in a statement on Facebook today.
Zuki said that officers who do not need to be present in the office are instructed to work from home in accordance with the rules and guidelines provided in the Service Circular No 5/2020: Work from Home policy.
“The country’s civil service will continue to be the mainstay to ensure that the government’s administrative machinery remains operational, based on standard operating procedures set to curb the spread of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said. – Bernama, May 11, 2021
