KUALA LUMPUR: To ensure that Malaysian women continue to be empowered, the government on Tuesday (March 8) announced six initiatives, among which women whose husbands have recently died to be allowed to work from home (WFH) within an appropriate period.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) said he was well aware of the grief and burden being experienced by women who have just lost their spouse and that heads of departments and top management would now be required to allow these employees to work from home so that they would be able to manage family affairs.
