Zahari Kechik (PN-Jeli) will also ask the Finance Minister about the number of recipients and the funds disbursed by the government through SARA.

In addition, Datuk Shamshulkahar Mohd Deli (BN-Jempol) will pose a question to the Home Minister about the current status of the pilot project for the single border agency (SBA) to oversee the country’s 141 entry points and the target date for this new agency to start operating.

After the session, the sitting will continue with the tabling of the Cyber Security Bill 2024 and the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2024 for the second reading.
