Kuala Lumpur: Civil servants can now wear batik clothing during the whole work week and not just on Thursdays, Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad announced today.
The Cabinet had agreed to the move in view of the climate and the need for energy efficiency in government offices, he said in a statement.“The decision made had taken into account the climate in this country and also the government’s commitment to achieve its aspiration for net zero greenhouse gas emissions as early as 2050 by reducing the carbon footprint from the energy consumption practices,” he said. The move will also help the local batik industry, he added.
