SINGAPORE: A ministerial committee convened to respond to the ongoing Middle East conflict will focus not just on energy disruptions and rising fuel prices, but also the wider supply shocks, security and diplomacy issues arising from the conflict, Coordinating Minister for National Security K Shanmugam has said.
Outlining the broad scope of the committee’s work on Saturday (Apr 4), Mr Shanmugam gave the example of how there could be “inevitable price rises” for food and other products affected by supply disruptions.
Mr Shanmugam was giving the media his first update as chair of the Homefront Crisis Ministerial Committee, which was announced on Thursday.
