D eputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong said that in March, only about six vessels on average passed through the Strait of Hormuz each day, compared with about 135 normally, making the supply disruption the worst since the 1973 oil embargo. DPM Gan added that as a small and highly open economy, Singapore will not be able to insulate itself completely from the crisis. It therefore needs to be prepared for more frequent shocks and disruptions in a world of heightened geopolitical contestation.
