KUALA LUMPUR: Today’s Dewan Rakyat sitting is expected to focus on issues over the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Malaysia and Indonesia on the recruitment of workers from the republic as well as the mechanisms the government will adopt to finance the total amount of subsidies.

According to the Order Paper uploaded on the Parliament official portal, the matter on the MoU would be raised during the Ministers Question Time by Anthony Loke (PH-Seremban) who would ask the Human Resources Minister to explain why the Malaysian government failed to comply with the MoU, that forced Indonesia to issue a temporary freeze order on its workers entering Malaysia.
