Palestine crisis, scammers issue among focus in Dewan Rakyat today

KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 — The Dewan Rakyat sitting today will focus on, among other things, the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, scammers and the naturalisation policy in football.

According to the Order Paper on the Parliament’s official website, during the question and answer session, Ledang MP Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh will ask the foreign affairs minister about the government’s plans and further actions concerning the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

Kepala Batas MP Dr Siti Mastura Muhammad will ask the prime minister about the losses incurred due to scammers from 2020 to 2023 and the government’s actions to combat such crimes comprehensively.

The question on the naturalisation policy will be posed by Tebrau lawmaker Jimmy Puah Wee Tse to the youth and sports minister.

Puah, in his question, wants to know the number of players who were given citizenship to represent Malaysia in the recent Asian Cup and efforts being taken by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to improve the quality of football and whether this naturalisation programme will be continued in the future.

After the oral question and answer session, the sitting will continue with the debate on the Motion of Thanks for the Royal Address which began last week.
