KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says that the government will not remain idle in facing the global supply crisis, which is becoming increasingly complex.
In an X post on Tuesday (April 21), the Prime Minister said every measure taken is purposeful based on the people's interest and aimed at ensuring Malaysia remains prepared, resilient and protected from energy supply shocks.
He said with the geopolitical situation in the Middle East becoming more tense and uncertain, the Madani government has acted early and cautiously by strengthening its network of cooperation with trusted partners such as Oman to ensure the people's interest is always protected.
Anwar received a courtesy visit on Tuesday from National Gas Company SAOG Oman chairman Sh Abdulla Suleiman Hamed Al Harthy to boost strategic cooperation and explore new investment opportunities that can help ensure the stability of the country's energy supply.
"The move to expand trade cooperation in oil and liquefied natural gas is not just an option but a strategic necessity to ensure the continued stability of the nation's energy supply chain and prevent cost pressures that could burden the people and businesses," Anwar said. – Bernama
