What is the change? Government offices will be closed Thursday and Friday following Wednesday’s general election. Offices will reopen Monday.
What does the change mean? Employers who need government services, including services from the MYXpats Centre or eXpats Service Centre, may need to adjust timelines and should expect delays when offices reopen.
Background: Offices were closed Wednesday when voters went to the polls for Malaysia’s 14th general election. Offices were initially expected to reopen Thursday, but government officials subsequently announced that they would remain closed for the remainder of the week.
