Malaysian Minister of Economy: Malaysia to enter a "critical period" for fuel supply starting in June

Malaysia’s Minister of Economy stated: “June and July will be critical periods for ensuring stable fuel supply.” He added that guaranteeing other raw material supplies for the industrial sector is “equally important,” including oil and gas derivatives such as materials used in pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. Earlier this month, Malaysia’s Prime Minister said the country could face fuel supply uncertainty as early as June, highlighting Malaysia’s vulnerability amid the global energy crisis. On Tuesday, the Minister of Economy said the government had ensured stable fuel supply in April and May, but the biggest challenge lies in securing supply for June and beyond.
