        "content": "<p>Malaysia will continue to tackle the ongoing global supply crisis\nbased on four main priorities, including ensuring adequate supplies of\nfood, energy, medicines, and essential goods, said Minister of Economy\nAkmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir as the government seeks to shield households\nand businesses from rising global uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>In a briefing after a meeting of Malaysia\u2019s National Economic Action\nCouncil, Akmal said the government\u2019s priorities also include expanding\nand optimising the existing supply through subsidy management, leakage\ncontrol, and tougher enforcement measures.<\/p>\n<p>The government will also focus on curbing price increases so that the\ncost pressures are not borne entirely by consumers, while exploring new\nopportunities in biodiesel, sustainable fuels, and alternative energy\nsources, he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The impact of the global supply crisis is expected to be felt more\nacutely in the third quarter of this year, particularly on price\nstability, industrial operating costs, and the labour market,\u2019 Akmal\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the reality of rising living costs, operational\npressures on industry, and global uncertainty requires the government to\nremain vigilant and act quickly.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that the government will continue to implement targeted\nsupport measures, including fuel subsidies and financing facilities for\nsmall and medium-sized enterprises, to cushion the impact on vulnerable\ngroups and business players.<\/p>",
