KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced that one of the seven ships previously stranded in the Strait of Hormuz has safely passed through the waters and is now heading to Malaysia.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said six more ships have received approval and are waiting for their turn to pass through the important trade route.
The Prime Minister said he was informed of the matter through a briefing by Petronas group president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz today.
“With this, we hope, God willing, that the oil supply for April and May will be very well under control,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Nurussaadah Mosque here, today.
