Akmal on Tuesday said the government has stable supply for April and May, but the is to ensure supply from June onwards. The government is taking steps to diversify its fuel sources and strengthen ties with major trading partners, he said.

Malaysia’s deputy domestic trade minister Fuziah Salleh said an increase in demand in several areas had caused temporary disruptions at some petrol stations, but measure to restore supplies are being immediately implemented.

“I would like to emphasize that the country’s fuel supply position is still stable and sufficient,” she said in a Facebook post on Saturday, adding that consumers should continue purchases as normal and not panic.
