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.

For the oral question-and-answer session, 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.

There will also be a question from Datuk Hasanuddin Mohd Yunus (PH-Hulu Langat) to the Communications and Multimedia Minister about drama scripts that use characters with the title "Tan Sri” and "Datuk Seri” who are engaged in immoral activities, such as having illicit affairs and being corrupt, as it gives those having the titles a bad image.

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.

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