        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, has called on the public and government employees to practise energy conservation through simple actions like turning off lights when not in use and switching to electric vehicles, aiming to preserve energy supplies and mitigate environmental impacts. The government is promoting flexible work arrangements such as Work From Home for civil servants to reduce fuel consumption and support the transition to clean energy, while exempting the energy sector to ensure uninterrupted operations. These initiatives underscore Indonesia's efforts to build daily energy-saving habits and decrease reliance on fossil fuels amid global energy challenges.",
        "content": "<p>Not only to safeguard energy supplies but also to minimise\nenvironmental impacts, Malang, East Java (ANTARA) - Minister of Energy\nand Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia has urged the public to save\nenergy through small habits, such as turning off lights when not in use.\n\u201cWhen do you go home? What time do you leave? If there are no more\nguests and you\u2019re about to go home, don\u2019t forget to turn off the\nlights,\u201d Bahlil said to employees of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral\nResources, quoted from an official statement received in Malang, East\nJava, on Friday. Efficiency efforts are frequently emphasised by Bahlil,\nparticularly since the global energy crisis stemming from the war\nbetween the United States (US) and Iran. The government continues to\npromote awareness of energy saving to make it a daily habit, both in\noffices and at home. In addition to saving energy by turning off lights\nwhen not in use, Bahlil also encouraged the public to switch to electric\nvehicles. According to him, this effort can help save energy while\nsupporting the use of clean energy. \u201cNow use electric cars, so you save\nenergy and don\u2019t have to queue at petrol stations,\u201d he said. Besides\ndaily habits, the government is also promoting the implementation of\nmore flexible work patterns through the Work From Home (WFH) scheme for\ncivil servants (ASN). This policy aims to reduce daily mobility, thereby\ncurbing oil fuel (BBM) consumption and increasing energy efficiency.\nThis step also aligns with the government\u2019s efforts to accelerate the\ntransition to clean energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels,\nincluding in government agency environments. However, the energy sector\nis one of the sectors exempted from the WFH policy. This is due to the\nstrategic role of the energy sector in maintaining supplies and services\nthat must continue to operate optimally, so the physical presence of\npersonnel in the field or at operational facilities remains\nnecessary.<\/p>",
