KUALA LUMPUR: Proposals for a single government super app, the latest achievements of the Rakan Muda programme, and tax refunds are among the topics set to be discussed at Thursday's (Feb 12) Dewan Rakyat session.

In the same session, Rushdan Rusmi (PN-Padang Besar) will ask the Youth and Sports Minister to provide updates on Rakan Muda 2025, its impact on youth, and plans to enhance the programme's focus on character and skills development.

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.

Suhaizan Kaiat (PH-Pulai) will ask the Digital Minister to explain how the Artificial Intelligence Governance Bill will address copyright and intellectual property issues arising from AI systems trained on copyrighted data, including text, images, audio, and video.
