Tengku Zafrul Aziz argues that the global energy crisis is no longer temporary but a long-term challenge affecting fuel prices, supply chains, food costs and government finances.

He stresses that government action alone is insufficient, calling for collective responsibility, reduced political distractions and a focus on protecting vulnerable groups while safeguarding economic stability.
