KUALA LUMPUR – Statistical information on civil servants who have refused vaccinations, or were not prepared to receive a Covid-19 vaccine without valid reasons, will be among the topics to be raised in the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

According to the Order Paper on the Parliament website, the matter will be raised during the question-and-answer session by Chan Foong Hin (Kota Kinabalu-PH) who will pose the question to the prime minister.

Datuk Seri Shamsul Anuar Nasarah (Lenggong-BN) will also ask the prime minister to clarify the income gap between urban and rural groups, and the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to the problem.

In addition, Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman (Sik-PAS) will ask the senior defence minister on the effectiveness of the National Task Force in coordinating security control operations through Ops Benteng in the South China Sea border areas.

After the session, the Dewan Rakyat sitting will continue the debate on the Supply Bill 2022 (Budget 2022) that was tabled by Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz on October 29. 

As of yesterday, a total of 85 MPs have participated in the Budget 2022 debate at the policy level since it began on November 1.

The winding up of Budget 2022 by the relevant ministries is scheduled for four days from November 15.

The Dewan Rakyat will sit until December 16. – Bernama, November 10, 2021
