MP concerned TV dramas painting Tan Sris, Datuk Seris in a bad light


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Datuk Hasanuddin Mohd Yunus (PH-Hulu Langat) is concerned that "Tan Sri" and "Datuk Seri" characters in television dramas can give those titles a bad image if the characters engage in immoral activities on screen.

He will raise his concerns in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Oct 11) and ask the Communications and Multimedia Minister about drama scripts that show such characters engaged in immoral activities, such as having illicit affairs and being corrupt, during the oral question-and-answer session.

According to the Order Paper of the Dewan Rakyat, Datuk Mohd Salim Sharif (BN-Jempol) will ask the 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 Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah (BN-Lenggong) to the 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 society.

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

Three bills are also scheduled to be tabled for the first reading in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Oct 11), 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.

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