All gov’t services fully operational during recovery MCO - KSN

All government services are fully operational during the implementation of the recovery movement control order (MCO) which will take effect from Wednesday to Aug 31, said Chief Secretary to the Government Mohd Zuki Ali.

Zuki (above) said meetings and workshops would also be allowed in accordance with security procedures and health protocols issued by the National Security Council (NSC) and the Health Ministry.

“As schools have yet to be reopened, the rotation system and work-from-home practices will still be continued, taking into account the needs of the civil servants in accordance with the Public Service Department's circular dated May 2, 2020.

“The department heads must exercise wisdom and firmness in this matter,” he said in a statement posted on his Facebook page today.

Zuki said department heads should ensure that all safety and health standard operating procedures (SOPs) were fully complied with, including body temperature screening, practising social distancing, wearing face masks, and providing hand sanitisers.

Security procedures of the recovery MCO to be issued by NSC, as well as all other all directives from the authorities, must be adhered to, he said.

“To support the country’s economy to get back on track, I urge all development projects to be continued immediately.

“For projects that really require a site visit, this activity will be allowed by adopting the new normal practices and with a minimum number of participants,” he said.
