KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — The government’s stance on the issue of religion, race and Royalty (3R), as well as the resolution to the plight of undocumented residents are among the focus of the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

According to the Order Paper on the Parliament’s official website, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (PN-Pagoh) will ask the Home Minister to state the government’s position on the 3R issue and the legal basis used to prohibit Malaysians from touching on the matter.

In the same session, Lo Su Fui (GRS-Tawau) will ask the Minister of Home Affairs to state efforts to resolve the issue of residents who do not have documents due to late registration, the death of parents, loss of marriage certificate, and other matters.

Labuan MP Datuk Dr Suhaili Abdul Rahman, meanwhile, will ask the Minister of Transport to state why Malaysia Airlines terminated Brahim’s Food Services Sdn Bhd’s inflight catering service before appointing a new caterer as a replacement.

Today’s sitting will also see the debate session on Budget 2024 enter its fifth day, after being tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Oct 13.
