On Wednesday (Nov 8), several issues will be brought up in Parliament, including the decrease in voter turnout and the increase in the cost of performing the haj pilgrimage.
Datuk Seri Shahidan Kasim (PN-Arau) is set to ask the Prime Minister about the drop in voter turnout in the 13th, 14th and 15th general elections and the actions taken by the Election Commission (EC) to address the problem during the question and answer session, according to the Order Paper on the Parliament’s official website.
Mohamad Shafizan Kepli (GPS-Batang Lupar) will also question the Prime Minister on the factors contributing to the rise in the cost of performing the haj, as well as the new requirements and eligibility that have been set.
Furthermore, Mohd Hasnizan Harun (PN-Hulu Selangor) will inquire if the government intends to review the retirement after 21 years of service for members of the Malaysian Armed Forces, considering that they are still young and have family commitments.
Following the question and answer session, the debate on the Supply Bill 2024 at the committee level will take place.
As per the Parliament’s calendar, the debate on the bill at the committee level will span 12 days until Nov 27. This Dewan Rakyat sitting, which commenced last Oct 9, is for 32 days. – Bernama
