Fadillah, who is also the energy transition and water transformation minister, said he exchanged views on the matter during a meeting with Singapore’s minister for manpower and minister-in-charge of energy, Tan See Leng, at his ministry today.
He said they also discussed the impact of the Middle East conflict on global supply chains and the challenges faced by Asean countries.
Fadillah said Tan acknowledged Malaysia’s efforts to strengthen energy security through the Asean Power Grid (APG) and stressed the importance of continued commitment among Asean member states to achieve a more secure energy future in Southeast Asia.
Meanwhile, economy minister Akmal Nasrullah Nasir said Malaysia and Singapore will continue to expedite the implementation of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), including exploring cooperation in green technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage.
“We discussed expediting JS-SEZ cooperation, a key cross-regional initiative that will enhance both countries’ economies,” he said in a Facebook post after a meeting with Tan today.
He said they also discussed potential cooperation in green technology, as well as the measures Malaysia and Singapore are taking to address global energy challenges following tensions in the Middle East.
Akmal said Singapore remains Malaysia’s most important trading partner in Asean, with total trade from January to October 2025 standing at RM339.39 billion. - FMT
