In a Facebook post this evening, Anwar said the government’s approach, grounded in data and current realities, ensures that state leaders coordinate with Putrajaya based on shared facts.

“Cooperation between the federal and state governments remains central. I am confident Malaysia will remain resilient and capable of protecting its people under all circumstances,” he said.

Anwar said the government is undertaking scenario planning to address various contingencies, including maintaining an uninterrupted national energy supply.

“The government’s focus remains firm on ensuring supply stability, containing price pressures and shielding the public from the direct impact of the crisis.

“Every measure will be implemented with careful consideration, with a clear priority on safeguarding public welfare through targeted and effective support initiatives,” he said.

Anwar also said strategic engagement with all stakeholders, including industry players and small and medium enterprises, would be strengthened.

Earlier today, deputy prime minister Fadillah Yusof said the fuel price crisis triggered by the Middle East conflict required a collective effort from the whole country.

Fadillah, who also oversees the energy transition and water transformation portfolio, said the government is working to ensure adequate fuel supply, coordinating closely with industries and monitoring fuel prices.
