PETALING JAYA: Malaysian middle distance runner Umar Osman delivered a stunning performance at the New Taipei City Athletics Open, setting a new national record in the men's 400m event.
TUMPAT: The government is expanding its search for fuel sources from various countries to ensure the nation's energy supply remains stable amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, says Datuk Raja Nurshirwan Zainal Abidin.
The National Security Council director-general said the initiative, driven by PETRONAS, is intended to secure adequate fuel supplies for the country despite disruptions in the global energy supply chain stemming from ongoing geopolitical tensions.
"From a fuel perspective, supplies are sufficient until the end of August, driven by PETRONAS, while efforts are under way to source fuel from around the world to ensure adequacy. "Alhamdulillah, these efforts appear to be bearing fruit as hoped, and in terms of fuel supply, we are not expected to be significantly affected," he told reporters after the National Cohesion Programme here Saturday .
He said the public also has an important role in ensuring the long-term stability of fuel supplies by using energy responsibly and avoiding wastage. He also called on the authorities to tighten efforts to combat fuel smuggling in border areas to prevent losses that could disrupt domestic supply.
Last month, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was reported to have said that petrol and diesel supplies in the country remain sufficient, despite the conflict in the Middle East and global economic conditions placing pressure on the global energy supply chain. He said the government remains committed to maintaining the subsidised price of RON95 petrol at RM1.99 per litre.
Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said Malaysia's good relations with several countries, including Iran, have helped ensure that the country's oil supply route through the Strait of Hormuz has continued to run smoothly so far. - BernamaDouble Six tragedy should remind Sabahans to defend state rights, says MojuntinRecycling facilities needed for shopping malls to get business licences, says ministry
