KUCHING (Jan 20): The Kuching South City Council (MBKS) has announced it will postpone applying the federal government’s new work-from-home (WFH) policy until it obtains definitive instructions from the Sarawak state government.
Federal officials have instructed roughly 451 agencies nationwide to institute at least one WFH day per week starting next Monday. Yet MBKS corporate services director Mary Francis told the press today that, within Sarawak, all state and local authorities must await the state’s directive before adjusting their work routines.
“At present, we haven’t been directed to implement the federal WFH plan,” she stated. “We will only act once an official order comes from Sarawak’s Premier or the State Secretary.”
MBKS is among several local authorities in Sarawak—along with MPP, MPPWK, MPS, MPKB and others—that will adhere to the state government’s guidance. Francis added that until further notice, all personnel should continue reporting to their offices as usual. “We will update everyone immediately once the state government issues the necessary protocol,” she noted.
