KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat sitting on Monday (March 4) will focus on, among other things, the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, scammers and the naturalisation policy in football.

According to the Order Paper on Parliament's official website, during the question and answer session, Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (PH-Ledang) will ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs about the government's plans and further actions concerning the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

Dr Siti Mastura Muhammad (PN-Kepala Batas) will ask the Prime Minister about the losses incurred due to scammers from 2020 to 2023 and the government's actions to combat such crimes comprehensively.

The question on the naturalisation policy will be posed by Jimmy Puah Wee Tse (PH-Tebrau) to the Minister of Youth and Sports.
