The Dewan Rakyat is set to delve into a range of critical issues, with a particular focus on the progress of the BUDI MADANI RON95 (BUDI95) fuel subsidy program and Malaysia's role as the 2025 ASEAN Chair. This comprehensive discussion will be a key highlight of the upcoming session.
The spotlight will be on the first month's progress of the BUDI95 initiative, as Member of Parliament for Bukit Bendera Syerleena Abdul Rashid questions the Prime Minister during the Ministers' Question Time. She will also seek clarification on measures taken to address eligibility issues affecting groups like airport taxi drivers, e-hailing drivers, and river boat operators. This is a crucial aspect that requires careful attention to ensure the program's effectiveness.
In parallel, Member of Parliament for Kubang Pasu Datuk Dr Ku Abd Rahman Ku Ismail will shed light on Malaysia's accomplishments and benefits as the ASEAN Chair, as well as the outcomes of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in South Korea, attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. This part of the discussion will provide valuable insights into Malaysia's international standing and its contributions to regional economic cooperation.
Additionally, Member of Parliament for Subang Wong Chen will raise a significant question regarding the Foreign Ministry's potential plans to convene a meeting with other ASEAN countries to discuss fundraising efforts for Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. This issue highlights the importance of regional collaboration in addressing humanitarian crises.
Following the question-and-answer session, the Dewan Rakyat will transition to the winding-up debate on the Supply Bill (Budget) 2026 at the policy stage, where respective ministries will present their plans and strategies. This phase will be crucial in shaping the nation's financial and policy trajectory for the upcoming year.
The Third Meeting of the Fourth Session of the 15th Parliament is scheduled to continue for 35 days, concluding on December 4th. This extended session underscores the importance and complexity of the issues that will be addressed, ensuring a thorough examination of Malaysia's key initiatives and international commitments.
