KUALA LUMPUR (April 1): The prolonged conflict in West Asia is expected to require a lengthy recovery period, but Malaysia remains in a relatively stable economic position to weather the challenges, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said. He said the situation has disrupted global supply chains, particularly in energy, although Malaysia has thus far managed to remain resilient. “When this happens, it will certainly affect global supply chains, especially energy, and Malaysia is not spared. He said recent developments indicate that the conflict has not only affected countries in the region but is now being felt globally, including in Malaysia. He said several special programmes involving the Cabinet and dedicated committees have also been held to manage fuel consumption while ensuring the country’s energy supply remains secure.
