PDIP Malang City Council Highlights WFH Proposal for City Govt Employees Amid Rising Fuel Prices
The PDI Perjuangan faction in the Malang City Council is criticizing the idea of applying work from home (WFH) for city government employees after fuel prices went up. Faction Secretary Harvard Kurniawan stressed that the top priority is making sure subsidized fuel goes to the right people, not implementing WFH. He urged officials and civil servants not to use subsidized fuel because they're considered economically capable.
Harvard thinks the WFH policy needs to be studied carefully and come with clear explanations to the public. If WFH is just based on complaints from employees who don't want to buy non-subsidized fuel, the policy is seen as not touching the real problem. The faction pushes for surprise inspections of official and personal vehicles of civil servants, plus strict penalties for those who break subsidized fuel rules.
He also reminded the government not to lump all employees in the same boat, especially lower-level ones who face economic pressure and limited transportation options. Harvard gave the example of employees who live far from the city center-they can't just switch to bikes or electric vehicles in the midst of a tough economic situation.
The PDI Perjuangan faction hopes the Malang city government is careful in crafting policies so public services stay solid without putting more burden on civil servants and vulnerable communities. Harvard himself affirmed his commitment to using non-subsidized fuel as a public official.
