PUTRAJAYA — The work-from-home (BDR) policy for civil servants will be maintained flexibly in conjunction with the upcoming Asean Summit at the end of this month.

The Public Service Department (JPA), in a statement, said the policy, outlined under Clause SR.4.1.2 of the Human Resource Management Service Circular (MyPPSM), aims to balance agency needs with the well-being of employees, including work-life harmony.

“In line with this approach, department heads are empowered to consider BDR applications from employees who may be affected by traffic congestion during the Asean Summit,” JPA said.

The department added that the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to resilient and empathetic governance, aligning with the core values of Malaysia Madani, such as well-being, compassion, and efficient public service delivery.
