KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 20 — Issues regarding the new education syllabus and the latest status of the next-generation identification card are among the highlights of today's Dewan Rakyat session.

According to the Order Paper on the official website of the Malaysian Parliament, Sri Gading MP Aminolhuda Hassan will pose a question to the Education Minister about the new syllabus set to be implemented by 2027 and the ministry’s plans to enhance student performance in literacy and numeracy.

Tenggara MP Manndzri Nasib will question the Home Affairs Minister on the latest status of the next-generation identification card to replace the current one as a measure to combat identity fraud.

In the same session, Miri MP Chiew Choon Man will ask the Finance Minister whether the Employees Provident Fund can strengthen the i-Lindung programme through subsidies and negotiations with insurance companies to provide medical coverage up to the age of 99 at affordable rates.

After the oral question-and-answer session, the Dewan Rakyat will continue with debates and committee-stage wrap-ups on the Supply Bill 2025 by the respective ministers.

This Dewan Rakyat session spans 35 days, from October 14 to December 12.
