## 📍 APA BERUBAH

### 1. 🔴 UAE STRIKE NEAR ABU DHABI NUCLEAR PLANT — MATERIAL

**Apa jadi:** UAE laporkan strike dekat Abu Dhabi nuclear power plant. Source sedang disiasat — chiam "dangerous escalation."

**Sepatutnya risau tak?** Ya.

**Mengapa untuk Arif:**
- Abu Dhabi = UAE = jiran Hormuz langsung
- Nuclear facility = infrastruktur kritikal
- Strike sekarang, bukan sekadar "tension" — ini implementasi
- PETRONAS LNG export routes through Hormuz already disrupted since morning
- Jika Hormuz jadi target = direct effect pada PETRONAS revenue stream
- Ini bukan speculative — **strike has happened**

**Perbezaan vs pagi:** Dari "UAE keluar OPEC" (medium-term structural) → **"UAE facility struck"** (immediate physical threat to regional infrastructure)

**Label:** PETRONAS | GEOPOLITIK | TENAGA
**Action:** WATCH — Hormuz escalation watch
**Priority:** 🟠 TINGGI

---

### 2. ⚠️ WHO DECLARES EBOLA OUTBREAK DR CONGO INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY

**Apa jadi:** WHO umum Ebola outbreak DR Congo = international emergency. ~246 cases, 80 deaths.

**Mengapa untuk Arif:**
- Bukan personal health risk (DR Congo jauh)
- Tetapi precedent untuk outbreak fatigue + global health attention diversion
- Jika outbreak spread = distraction untuk pemerintah Malaysia dari isu domestik (RON95, GE16)
- Watch list, bukan action item malam ni

**Perbezaan vs pagi:** New item — tiada dalam radar pagi

**Label:** KESIHATAN GLOBAL
**Action:** WATCH — monitor development
**Priority:** 🟡 SEDERHANA

---

### 3. 🟡 UKRAINE DRONE ATTACK MOSCOW REGION — 3 DEAD

**Apa jadi:** Large-scale Ukrainian drone attack in Moscow region. 3 dead. Zelensky kata "justified response" to Russian attacks on Ukraine cities.

**Mengapa untuk Arif:**
- Continuation of war pattern, bukan eskalasi baru
- Russia-Ukraine war impact on energy prices already baked in at $105-106
- Tidak affect langsung ke Malaysia atau PETRONAS
- Tapi: jika Russia respond with energy weapon (strike on Ukrainian infrastructure, nuclear) = could move oil price

**Perbezaan vs pagi:** New item malam ni
**Label:** GEOPOLITIK
**Action:** MONITOR — tidak urgent malam ni
**Priority:** 🟢 LOW for Arif

## 📊 PETRONAS WATCH — MALAM UPDATE

| Perkara | Status | Impak Malam |
|---------|--------|-------------|
| Brent crude ~$105-106 | ⚠️ Elevated | No change since pagi |
| UAE strike near nuclear plant | 🔴 NEW | **Escalation — Hormuz risk naik** |
| UAE keluar OPEC | 🔴 Effective 1 Mei | OPEC discipline weaken + physical strike = compound risk |
| Supply nasional secured | ✅ Until Jun 2026 | Stable |
| Strait of Hormuz | ⚠️ **ELEVATED** | Strike happened = physical threat confirmed |
| LNG charter PETRONAS+MISC | ✅ 20-year deal | Stable |

---

## 🤫 APA BOLEH ABAI MALAM NI

1. **Trump-backed challenger defeats Republican senator** — US domestic politics, tiada impak Arif
2. **Ukrainian drone attack Moscow** — continuation of established war pattern
3. **Ebola DR Congo** — watch sahaja, belum affect Arif directly
4. **Italy car attack** — tragic, tiada impak strategik
5. **Taiwan independence statement** — sudah known issue
6. **Nigeria schoolchildren kidnapping** — tragic, tiada impak Arif
7. **Eurovision, hantavirus cruise ship** — noise, abaikan

---

## 🎯 SATU TINDAKAN HARI NI

**UAE strike = elevate Hormuz watch to ACT level.**

Jika UAE strike near nuclear facility escalates tomorrow:
- Check: apakah LNG shipment routes terjejas?
- Check: adakah PETRONAS hedging strategy adequate untuk Hormuz disruption + UAE strike compound scenario?

Otherwise — standard watch, re-evaluate pagi esok.
