Three bills for tabling in Dewan Rakyat today

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — Three bills are scheduled to be tabled for the first reading in the Dewan Rakyat today, including the Trade Descriptions (Amendment) Bill 2021.

According to the Order Paper of the Dewan Rakyat, the other two bills are the Wildlife Conservation (Amendment) Bill 2021 and the Small Estates (Distribution) (Amendment) Bill 2021.

For the oral question and answer session, Jempol MP Datuk Mohd Salim Sharif will ask Finance Minister on the implications of accrued interest to borrowers over the moratorium and the government’s preparedness to abolish the interest.

Another question will be from Lenggong MP Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah to Senior Education Minister on the ministry’s plans to implement a single-stream school, which is only the Sekolah Kebangsaan (national schools), to improve proficiency of the Malay language in the society.

There will also be a question from Hulu Langat MP Datuk Hasanuddin Mohd Yunus to Communications and Multimedia Minister about drama scripts that use characters with the title “Tan Sri” and “Datuk Seri” who are engaged in immoral activities, like having illicit affair and are corrupt, as it gives those having the titles a bad image.

Meanwhile, Sik MP Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman will pose a question to Agriculture and Food Industry Minister on padi production and distribution of certified padi seeds to farmers.

The first meeting of the fourth session of the 14th Parliament is for 17 days until October 12.
