What i mean is companies are required to allow employees to WFH if they request it

But most companies will ignore the request since thy are not legally required to allow it

Sure, but same with things like annual leave and sick leave

The Employment Act says that employees have the right to annual/sick/maternity/paternity leave.

See what happens to a employer that doesn't give leave when a employee requests for it

One step at a time

Now have the right to request for WFH

Sure, can reject, as per Sections 60P and 60Q of the Employment Act 1955. But need to provide reasonings in line with the guidelines under s60Q of the Employment Act 1955, not just a "no".

If the employer doesn't provide the rejection reasonings under the guidelines under s60Q of the Employment Act 1955, can report employer to JTK.

No different to employers who reject leave requests unreasonably.
