KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — The institutional reform agenda, the construction of a new nuclear reactor and the misappropriation of subsidised diesel in the country will be among the matters discussed in the Dewan Rakyat today.
According to the Order Paper on the Parliament website, Sri Gading MP Aminolhuda Hassan is scheduled to ask the prime minister about the institutional reform agenda during the questions for oral answer session.
He will seek clarification on the progress of the institutional reform agenda championed by the prime minister through the Unity Government, and inquire about the timeline for key appointments, such as chairpersons of institutions like the Election Commission, to be made via Parliamentary processes.
In the same session, Kuala Terengganu MP Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim will pose a question to the science, technology and innovation minister regarding plans to build a new nuclear reactor with more advanced technology to replace the Triga Puspati Reactor (RTP), which has been in use since 1982.
Lubok Antu lawmaker Roy Angau Gingkoi will ask the domestic trade and cost of living minister if the government intends to take more decisive action to combat the misappropriation of subsidised diesel, particularly in states bordering neighbouring countries such as Sarawak, and the proactive measures taken to address leakage and smuggling of other subsidised items.
The session will then proceed with the policy-level debate on the Supply Bill 2025.
The Third Meeting of the Third Session of the 15th Parliament will run for 35 days until December 12.
