TASEK GELUGOR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamid said global uncertainties are increasingly shaping the halal industry, with geopolitical developments putting direct pressure on supply chains and production costs.

He said the global halal sector faces not only market challenges but also the ripple effects of international conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz.

"These disruptions have hit global supply chains hard," he said, adding that the impact goes beyond the energy sector and affects the wider halal ecosystem.

SEPANG, April 7 — Malaysia is mobilising the Grand Sumud Nusantara Campaign 2026, an integrated land and sea effort to provide humanitarian support to Gaza.

Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC) director-general Datuk Dr Ahmad Sani Araby Abdul Alim Araby said the large-scale campaign would be implemented in five phases, encompassing emergency aid delivery, international mobilisation and legal action on the global stage.

He said the initiative involved the delivery of 30 humanitarian aid containers, weighing approximately 374 tonnes, currently stored at a warehouse near the Suez Canal in Egypt prior to being channelled to Gaza via the Rafah border crossing.

“This effort is made possible through diplomatic cooperation between the Malaysian and Egyptian governments, with the hope that the aid will soon reach the people of Gaza,” he said after the launch of the Malaysian Humanitarian Aid Mission to Gaza via the Global Sumud Flotilla 2.0 delegation here yesterday.
