KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat sitting today will focus on the debate session on the Supply Bill 2021 after it was tabled on Friday.
Based on the Dewan Rakyat order papers, the debate will begin as soon as the oral question-and-answer session ends on the sixth day of the sitting, with a limit of only 80 Members of Parliament – 41 MPs from the government and 39 others from the opposition and/or independent bench – being allowed in the Parliament at any one time.
The sitting, which will take place from 10am to 2pm, will also highlight the issue of lack of employment opportunities for graduates, as well as the Palestinian occupation, these being among the questions scheduled to be raised in the oral question-and-answer session.
