Corruption, health issues among highlights at Dewan Rakyat’s first week sitting


KUALA LUMPUR: The First Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 14th Parliament begins this week, and during the first week of the conference issues of corruption, health and people’s wellbeing, as well as floods, were among the 'hot' issues raised by Members of Parliament (MPs).

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, in his royal address at the opening ceremony, touched on these issues, which clearly got the attention of both government and opposition MPs as these were raised during the question and answer sessions and debates.
