The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma) has urged the government to introduce temporary relief measures to address a severe shortage of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber latex (NBR), triggered by the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The blockade has significantly disrupted global shipping routes and pushed Brent crude oil prices above US$100 per barrel, said Margma in a statement today.
