Natural resources, environment and climate change minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said he had tabled a memorandum on the proposed Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act to the Cabinet on Aug 2.

They also discussed a circular to adjust the temperatures at these locations.

“We took into account Malaysia’s climate and the government’s commitment to achieve its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by reducing our carbon footprint,” he said in a statement.

Nik Nazmi said the Cabinet agreed to allow all civil servants to wear batik to make it comfortable and easier for them to get used to the change in temperature at government premises.

He said the initiative would help Putrajaya save electricity and improve energy efficiency while boosting the batik industry.

He also said he will propose extending this dress code to MPs and senators in the two houses of Parliament.
