The Dewan Rakyat will focus on stricter contractor vetting and performance checks in today's oral question-and-answer session. Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (PN-Langkawi) will question the Works Minister about measures to address contractor management weaknesses and financial capacity issues, as well as new mechanisms to improve project delivery.
The government aims to curb delayed and "sick" government projects and strengthen accountability in public contract management. Additionally, the session will touch on the Elderly Care Bill, education readiness for simultaneous entry of six- and seven-year-olds into Year One, and efforts to reacquire Tan Sri P. Ramlee's films for national heritage preservation.
The session will also involve reviewing the Auditor-General's Report (LKAN) 2/2026 and the second reading of the Food (Amendment) Bill 2026.
