KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — The Visa Liberalisation Plan (PLV), a proposal to allow non-Bumiputera students to enrol in Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), and the value of the ringgit are among key issues to be discussed by the Dewan Rakyat today.
According to the Order Paper on the Parliament’s portal, these issues will be raised during the oral question-and-answer session.
Datuk Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh (PN-Pasir Puteh) will question the Home Minister about assurance the PLV will not compromise national and public security.
