Sri Lanka's government made a new choice. Every Wednesday will be a holiday. This helps use less energy. The country wants to stop fuel problems. Other Asian countries also save energy.
Leaders met to make this choice. They worry about oil from other countries. Problems between the US and Iran affect oil. The Strait of Hormuz is important for oil. Much oil for Asia goes through there. This can make oil prices go up.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said, "We must be ready." The holiday helps people use less fuel. This saves the country's fuel.
Thailand asks people to wear light clothes. This means less air conditioning. Myanmar limits car use.
Bangladesh changes university holidays. They will also have power cuts. The Philippines asks some workers to stay home. Vietnam asks people to travel less. They say to bike or use buses.
Many Asian countries have money problems. Sri Lanka's holiday is a big change. Countries need fuel from other places. Oil prices are a big worry. We will see if this helps save energy.
