KUALA LUMPUR: The possibility of trade sanctions from the United States due to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s unequivocal stance in defending the rights of the Palestinian people and state will be among the focal points of the Dewan Rakyat sitting on Thursday (Nov 28).
According to the Order Paper on Parliament’s official website, RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) will broach the subject during the Minister’s Question Time when the Dewan Rakyat sitting begins at 10am.
In the same session, the Prime Minister is also anticipated to respond to a question from Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz (PN-Tanah Merah) on why the Malaysian Armed Forces helicopter leasing contracts were not offered via international open tender or on a government-to-government (G-to-G) basis.
Another point of interest will be a question from Wan Razali Wan Nor (PN-Kuantan), who will ask the Housing and Local Government Minister to outline steps taken by the ministry in collaboration with local authorities (PBT) to address frequent flash floods in urban areas during the oral question session.
After the Q & A session, the sitting will proceed with debates and winding-up sessions at the committee stage on the Supply Bill 2025 (Budget) by the respective ministries.
