Confusion reigns over who should work from home


PETALING JAYA: While supporting the government's move to flatten the Covid-19 infection curve through the Work From Home (WFH) order, the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) maintains that the latest ruling is short on details.

"There is still a lack of clarity on the requirement for the swab test, whether it will be for all staff that continue to work in the office or factory, or only those from the red zone areas, or only staff that are exempted from the WFH directive based on the flexibility provided," said FMM president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai in a statement on Wednesday (Oct 21).
