KUALA LUMPUR – The special parliamentary sittings on July 26 will see no debates, only minister briefings, as seen after the schedule was made available on the legislative House’s website.

Among ministers who will be briefing MPs in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday include Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba; Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin; Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Aziz, and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The parliamentary schedule for the ministers’ explanations was tagged by an asterisk stating that the session will be followed by questions from other MPs, and will end with the relevant cabinet members providing answers.
