* **Energy Market Impact:** The early 2026 US-Iran conflict and the subsequent blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed Brent crude prices above $100 per barrel, heightening energy security concerns in Malaysia.
* **Policy Acceleration:** Malaysia is fast-tracking the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) to reduce dependency on fossil fuel subsidies.
