KUALA LUMPUR: The implementation of punitive measures against Israel and allocations for religious schools in 2025 are among key matters to be discussed in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Nov 10).
According to the Order Paper on the Parliament’s website, Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee (PN-Beluran) is scheduled to ask the Foreign Minister about concrete steps taken following Malaysia’s call at the recent Arab-Islamic Summit in Qatar for punitive action against Israel.
He will also seek clarification on whether the call includes indirect links between Malaysian entities and Israel through technology supply chains, third-party trade, or cooperation in the security and cyber sectors.
Meanwhile, Datuk Ahmad Saad @ Yahaya (PN-Pokok Sena) will ask the Prime Minister about the total aid and allocations provided to people’s religious schools this year.
Datuk Suhaimi Nasir (BN-Libaran) will question the Agriculture and Food Security Minister on new economic programmes for Sabah youth, particularly in digital economy, agropreneurship and modern fisheries, to reduce reliance on low-paying jobs.
