Jimmy Puah Wee Tse (PH-Tebrau) will ask the Finance Minister to provide details on how much excess tax has been refunded so far, what remains outstanding, and the government's timeline for completing all repayments.

Meanwhile, in the oral question-and-answer session, Kamal Ashaari (PN-Kuala Krau) will ask the Agriculture and Food Security Minister about the government's plans to curb a 25% rise in livestock feed costs driven by imported raw materials and to optimise the use of palm kernel feed to stabilise prices.
