WITH the conflict in the Middle East sending fossil fuel prices throughout the world skyrocketing, along with Malaysia’s fuel subsidy bills, the government has been looking into managing costs.

One proposal to reduce the fuel subsidy bill has been to implement work-from-home (WFH) initiatives throughout the country. On April 1, the government announced that employees of its ministries, agencies, statutory bodies, and government- linked companies could WFH beginning on April 15. While this is a good measure to reduce fuel consumption, expanding WFH to all sectors would have myriad other benefits.
