Parliament meeting scheduled for June postponed one month, say sources


PETALING JAYA: The second meeting of Parliament, originally scheduled for June, has been postponed to July, say sources.

A notice issued to government MPs and sighted by The Star stated that the June 23 to July 31 meeting would now take place from July 21 to Aug 28.

"Among the key agenda are several government Bills and the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP)," read the notice.

Several government MPs confirmed they had received the notice.

On March 11, the Economy Ministry announced that it was in the final stages of preparing the 13MP document, with plans to table it at the next parliamentary meeting.

Deputy Economy Minister Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib said 13MP, which will chart Malaysia's socio-economic development from 2026 to 2030, is being formulated in line with the objectives of the Madani economy framework.

"The 13MP is vital to ensuring Malaysia's successful transition to a high-income economy within the plan's timeframe," she said.

Several other important Bills expected to be tabled in the second meeting include the Gig Workers Bill, Urban Renewal Bill and the Cross-Border Insolvency Bill.
