Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stressed that Malaysia is not in a state of emergency. The statement was made even though several countries have urged their citizens to stockpile food and other essential goods. The appeals were made out of concern over the state of global supplies.
According to a report by The Malaysian Reserve, several countries have taken these precautionary measures as preparation. However, the Malaysian government believes the current situation in the country remains under control. Food supplies and basic goods are said to be sufficient for the needs of the people.
Malaysians are reminded not to panic and not to buy goods excessively. The public is also encouraged to plan moderately if they wish to store supplies for daily needs.
So far, there has been no official announcement regarding restrictions or shortages of food supplies in Malaysia. The public is advised to continue monitoring the latest statements from the authorities.
