        "summary": "The Indonesian government is preparing technical regulations for a policy mandating one day of work-from-home (WFH) per week for civil servants and recommending it to private sectors not directly involved in public services, with implementation set to begin after the 2026 Eid al-Fitr holidays. Exceptions apply to sectors like public services, industry, and trade that cannot easily facilitate remote work, aiming to enhance work efficiency and reduce fuel consumption amid escalating Middle East tensions. Officials emphasise that the policy is not due to any disruption in domestic fuel supplies, which remain secure.",
        "content": "<p>The government is drafting technical regulations regarding the\nwork-from-home (WFH) policy of one day per week for certain sectors.\nHowever, there are exceptions for business fields directly related to\npublic services, requiring them to continue working from the office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis applies to civil servants (ASN) and is also a recommendation\nfor the private sector, particularly those not related to public\nservices,\u201d stated Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga\nHartarto some time ago, quoted on Sunday (29\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of this WFH policy is planned after the 2026 Eid\nal-Fitr holidays. The technical details are currently being studied by\nthe Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of Home Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be detailed, but after Eid we will carry it out,\u201d Airlangga\nemphasised.<\/p>\n<p>On another occasion, State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said the policy\nwill also apply to certain business sectors that allow remote work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo avoid misunderstanding, for example, the services, industry, and\ntrade sectors may not be part of this policy,\u201d Prasetyo said at the\nMerdeka Palace in Jakarta last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>This WFH policy is a directive from the President during the full\ncabinet meeting before the 2026 Eid al-Fitr as an effort to promote\nefficiency in the work environment, including reducing fuel needs amid\nescalating tensions in the Middle East war between Iran, the United\nStates, and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs conveyed by the President during the full cabinet plenary\nsession, we are formulating several policies in order to realise that we\nall must together make ourselves more efficient in working,\u201d Prasetyo\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, he emphasised that the policy is not designed because\nfuel supplies in Indonesia are disrupted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we continue to convey, insyaallah the fuel supply is not a\nproblem, the fuel supply is safe,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>",
