Cambodia-Thailand conflict negotiation, govt debt in focus at Dewan Rakyat today


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's role in facilitating peace talks and a ceasefire in the Thailand-Cambodia conflict is among the issues in focus at the Dewan Rakyat sitting on Tuesday (Aug 5).

Based on the Order Paper on Parliament's portal, Rodiyah Sapiee (GPS-Batang Sadong) will raise the issue with the Prime Minister during Minister's Question Time.

In the same session, Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid (PN-Kuala Kangsar) will seek clarification from the Prime Minister on whether the Madani government managed the national debt responsibly.

Meanwhile, in the question and answer session, Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis (Warisan-Kota Belud) will ask the Foreign Minister about the proposed Joint Development with Indonesia in the ND6 and ND7 Ambalat blocks.

She will also inquire whether the same method would be used through the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Authority (MTJDA) or another method, ensuring the rights of Sabah and Sarawak are protected under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

Datuk Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut) will ask the Prime Minister to state the government's decision following a holistic engagement session with stakeholders regarding the status of the establishment of the Malaysian Ombudsman, as well as the next steps to expedite its establishment.

Additionally, Jimmy Puah Wee Tse (PH-Tebrau) will ask the Defence Minister if the ministry planned to integrate the use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology in the country's air defence systems.

The Dewan Rakyat sitting resumed with the debate session on the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13) motion tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last Thursday (July 31).

This Dewan Rakyat session will last for 24 days until August 28. – Bernama
