KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Aviation Commission’s long-term plans to tackle overpriced flight tickets between the peninsula and Sabah, especially during festive seasons, will be among the matters raised at the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.
According to the order paper on the Parliament website, the matter will be raised by Vivian Wong (Sandakan-PH) in a question to the transport minister during Ministers’ Question Time.
There will also be a question from R. Yuneswaran (Segamat-PH) to the economy minister on how the People’s Income Initiative can help B40 households and the hardcore poor generate income.
During the question for oral answers, William Leong (Selayang-PH) will ask the women, family, and community development minister to state whether the government has plans to set up a pension scheme for senior citizens aged 65 and above who are not civil service retirees or do not get a pension from the Social Security Organisation.
In addition, R.S.N. Rayer (Jelutong-PH) is expected to ask the finance minister whether the government will reintroduce the Goods and Services Tax, which has burdened the people previously.
After the session concludes, Dewan Rakyat will continue with the last day policy-level debate on Budget 2023.
The current Dewan Rakyat will sit for 31 days until April 4. – Bernama, March 9, 2023
