Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan will ask the prime minister whether the government is ready to adopt artificial intelligence technology in the country’s legal sector and services.

During the oral question-and-answer session, Kepong lawmaker Lim Lip Eng will ask the home minister to clarify whether community-based programmes are being considered as an alternative to the detention of minors for immigration offences and if similar programmes could be explored for prisoners who have served two-thirds of their sentence.

Meanwhile, Pasir Puteh MP Datuk Dr Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh will pose a question to the plantation and commodities minister to outline the medium- and long-term plans to ensure the sustainability of the oil palm plantation sector, which is now nearing the land expansion limit of 6.5 million hectares.
