Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Water Transformation Fadilla said on the 22nd that in the context of the global energy crisis impacting the production and supply chain and pushing up energy costs, the Malaysian government is actively taking measures, including seeking supplementary sources of energy supply from overseas. Ensure that the country's energy supply is maintained until December this year.

When attending a government meeting in the administrative capital of Malaysia, Butrajaya, Fadilla said that as of now, Malaysia's existing energy reserves are expected to be maintained until July this year. The current global energy crisis has spread to many areas. Rising logistics costs push up commodity prices and affect supply security, and shortages of raw materials such as plastics further hit industries such as medicine and manufacturing. The Government is continuing to assess the impact of the crisis on the economy and people's livelihood and to introduce timely response measures.

Malaysia is an oil-producing country, but crude oil production is far from meeting domestic demand and has long relied on imports to fill the gap. The war in the Middle East has triggered global energy price fluctuations, and Malaysia's energy supply is facing challenges.

In addition, the Malaysian government has recently introduced a number of measures to ensure supply, stabilize prices, strengthen subsidies, develop alternative energy sources, and strengthen the recycling industry to enhance the resilience of the country's economy.

Malaysian Minister of Economy Akmal Nasrullah recently stated that the government will prioritize ensuring the stable supply of food, energy, pharmaceuticals, and essential goods, curbing rising prices, strengthening subsidy management, and seizing new opportunities in alternative energy sources such as biodiesel and sustainable fuels.

Malaysia's Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Shen Zhiqin said on the 20th that the government is formulating new measures to strengthen the construction of the local recycling industry and reduce dependence on imports of raw materials such as plastics and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to enhance the resilience of the country's supply chain.
