00:00Perikatan National Chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has urged the government to form a non-partisan national council to discuss economic
00:09interventions in view of the rising oil prices resulting from the Middle East conflict.
00:16Samsuri said the global economic uncertainty demanded a non-partisan approach to put national interests above politics.
00:25With the conflict persisting, he said, Malaysians are starting to feel the effects of higher energy prices, supply chain disruptions,
00:34and rising logistics costs.
00:37In a statement, Samsuri said there will be an even bigger impact on the job market, with affected industries possibly
00:45reducing their manpower.
00:46The Trangano-Mantribasar suggested that Puchajaya bring together NGOs, academics, industry players, and civil society to collectively come up with
00:58solutions.
01:00He said such a forum would help ensure decisions are made in the country's collective interests, rather than narrow political
01:08considerations.
