KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 – Malaysia needs a stable government to absorb the increasing challenges worldwide, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said only a strong and legitimate government can overcome such challenges.

In a FB posting, he said the world today is facing the issue of inflation that burdens most countries, and food supply chain has been much disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.

“For instance, Malaysia has seen the surge in oil price since 2014. However, we managed to handle the crisis well because we have a stable government.

“In the same way, we managed to handle the economic crises that happened before in an orderly manner. At the same time it reduced the direct impact of the crisis on the people’s livelihood.”

He further said this shows how much a stable government is needed in every country.

“The delay in restoring stability will make it difficult for us to overcome the current challenges,” he said.
