PUTRAJAYA: Government offices will remain fully operational throughout the implementation of the movement control order (MCO) nationwide from today until June 7, to ensure that the government service delivery system is not affected, said Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali.

Mohd Zuki said department heads must ensure that government offices remain fully operational, based on the guidelines set, such as the circular letter issued by the directorgeneral of the Public Service Department dated Jan 12, 2021.

“Heads of departments must use prudence and wisdom in planning human resource needs to ensure staff attendance in the office can be minimised through the rotation system, and must issue internal instructions detailing priorities according to their respective departmental sectors,” he said in a statement posted on his Facebook account yesterday.

Mohd Zuki said that officers who do not need to be present to work in the office are instructed to work from home in accordance with the rules and guidelines provided in the Service Circular No. 5/2020: Work from Home policy.
