Lawmakers to address M40 aid, Madani allocations and Tourism Compliance Focus Zone effectiveness in Dewan Rakyat today

The Dewan Rakyat is set to address several key issues on October 19, including aid for M40 households, allocations for the Madani school and Kampung Angkat programmes, and the effectiveness of the Tourism Compliance Focus Zone (ZTPP) programme. Datuk Adnan Abu Hassan (BN-Kuala Pilah) will question the Finance Minister about measures to help M40 households affected by rising living costs, while Datuk Dr Richard Rapu (GPS-Betong) will seek a detailed breakdown of the RM50 million and RM200 million spent on the Madani School and Kampung Angkat programmes.

Additionally, Hassan Saad (PN-Baling) will inquire about the performance indicators used to assess the ZTPP programme's effectiveness in reducing complaints of excessive pricing. The session will also cover the status of the National Women's Policy 2025-2030 and whether the Communications Minister plans to extend the social media age limit to online gaming platforms.

The Dewan Rakyat sitting will continue with the debate on the Supply Bill 2027 at the policy stage, following Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's presentation of Budget 2027.
