IPOH – The Perak assembly on Friday will see the tabling of a motion to elect senators, said Speaker Datuk Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid.
He said six nominations had been received to fill up the two posts, however two of them were submitted after the deadline.
“Therefore, only four candidates are left now. They are from Bersatu, Amanah, DAP, and Barisan Nasional,” he told a press conference today.
Zahir said the motion was scheduled to be tabled on December 20 after the winding-up session of the debate on the Supply Bill 2022 by Menteri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad.
The second meeting of the fourth term of the 14th Perak assembly will sit for seven days until December 20.
Zahir said other motions to be tabled at the sitting were on the proposed Syariah Court Enactment (Perak) (Amendment) 2021 Bill; proposed amendment to Fixed Orders of the Perak assembly, and a proposal to create a special select committee to review Perak state enactments.
Meanwhile, he said the sitting would be held in strict compliance with the standard operating procedures under the National Recovery Plan set.
“Those attending the sitting are required to undergo the RT-PCR test and screening daily in the morning and they will only be allowed to attend the sitting if the results are negative,” he said. – Bernama, December 7, 2021
