Kuala lumpur: The government is taking a pragmatic approach with the main focus on ensuring the stability of the country's basic supply needs, protecting the people from extreme cost of living pressures, and strengthening the country's economic resilience in the long term in facing the impact of the global energy supply crisis. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said that for this purpose, targeted assistance, price control, strengthening energy security, and strategic cooperation among the government, industry, and the people have been and are being implemented by the government.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Fadillah emphasized the importance of unity, discipline, and public confidence, urging all parties, including members of the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), to support national efforts during these global challenges. Global supply disruptions, geopolitical uncertainties, and rising international logistics costs have led to increased prices of food, transportation, and essential goods worldwide.

"Malaysia is also affected by this situation, but the government remains committed to ensuring the welfare of the people is always a priority in every decision and policy implemented," Fadillah stated in a Facebook post. Earlier, he attended the ministry's 2025 Excellent Service Award (APC), which honored 168 recipients for their dedication and service.

Fadillah congratulated the award recipients for their contributions and stressed that the event reflects the government's focus on high-quality, dynamic, and high-performing human capital. He encouraged public servants to view their efforts as a form of ongoing charity and to be agents of productivity and goodness in public service.
