KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians have been urged to remain vigilant but not panic as the government continues to monitor escalating global security threats, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.

He said government departments and agencies were working to ensure adequate supplies of essential goods, including food and medicine, amid growing international uncertainties.

Anwar added that some countries had chosen not to disclose the situation to avoid causing public anxiety, while residents in several nations, including those in Asean, had become concerned and started stockpiling essential items.
