KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 - Following the implementation of the Work From Home (WFH) policy for federal civil servants, a total of 4.05 million litres of petrol had been saved, resulting in RM7.31 million in subsidy savings as of Tuesday (July 14).
The Finance Ministry (MOF) said that 74,408 civil servants have benefited from the WFH initiative, introduced on April 15 in response to the global energy supply crisis to reduce the country's fuel consumption.
It was responding to Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal via a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat, which was published on the Parliament website today.
He had asked the ministry to state the financial implications, particularly the amount of savings achieved by the government through the implementation of WFH in the public sector and the fuel subsidy rationalisation measures.
In this context, the MOF said the government urges the public to continue practising prudent fuel consumption.
At the same time, the government will continue its efforts to ensure a stable fuel supply to support the daily activities of the public, public transportation, the logistics sector, and other critical industries.
