JAKARTA – The Indonesian government’s plan to enforce a mandatory one day of remote work a week for civil servants has drawn scepticism among analysts, who are calling for longer-term solutions to cushion the impact of rising global oil prices triggered by the Middle East war.
The policy is expected to take effect some time after the extended Islamic holiday Idul Fitri, also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Singapore, with the government also encouraging private companies to follow suit.
