PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirmed that six of seven Malaysian ships have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz and are now on their way to bring crude oil supplies to the country.
He said that another ship carrying the supplies was stranded at the port due to some damage.
Following the development, he said that the oil supply for this month and May is expected to be under control.
"Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik (President and Group Chief Executive Officer of PETRONAS) just gave an update on the facilities and transportation of our ships.
"Alhamdulillah, all got through... one has almost arrived, one has already departed, only one of our ships has suffered damage and is stranded at the port. So, the other six are on their way.
"The oil supply for April and May seems to be still under control," he told reporters.
He made this statement after performing Friday prayers at the Nurussaadah Mosque in Cheras Baru today.
He stressed the government's commitment to maintaining current prices despite the increasing financial pressure.
"So far, we have tried to defend the price of RON95 even though it puts a bit of a burden on the government.
"We have a committee chaired by Tan Sri Hassan Marican who looks at the overall energy needs, and the Cabinet of Ministers will, of course, monitor these developments every day so that they are more controlled in the current economic situation," he added. - April 10, 2026
