Environmental concerns form another major pillar of today's Order Paper, with Datuk Yusuf Abd Wahab (GPS-Tanjong Manis) questioning the Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability on specific legal, administrative, and diplomatic steps undertaken to mitigate recurring cross-border haze impacting Sarawak.
In legislative business, the sitting will mark the first reading of the Supply Bill 2027 by the Finance Minister, alongside the second reading of the Sports Development (Amendment) Bill 2026 by the Youth and Sports Minister.
