KUALA LUMPUR: Issues related to the death of migrants at detention centres, the journalists’ code of ethics and the status of the rare earth export ban will be among the focus of Tuesday (March 12)'s Dewan Rakyat sitting.

According to the Order Paper posted on the Parliament’s official website, Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan) will ask the Home Minister about a new Human Rights Watch (HRW) report which has criticised the government over the treatment of migrants in detention centres that were claimed to be overcrowded, in addition to deaths involving vulnerable groups at the centres.
