KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 — The government will immediately implement several proactive, thorough early-intervention measures to maintain the country's economic resilience amid the conflict in West Asia.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this was decided during today's National Economic Action Council meeting, which examined the latest geopolitical developments, global economic pressures, and security implications following the conflict.
The government is also mobilising efforts to ensure the security of energy supply, including diversifying sources and exploring alternative routes to reduce dependence on risky routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz.
"Although still in the festive (Hari Raya) Aidilfitri atmosphere, the people's well-being, particularly the cost of living, remains the MADANI Government's priority,” he said in a Facebook post.
Anwar added that the government will continue to closely monitor the conflict situation in West Asia, with information channelled directly to the public.
In facing the challenge, he said that calmness, discipline, and a spirit of togetherness are crucial to ensuring the country remains stable and resilient.
