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

Today, the Dewan Rakyat will discuss several matters including aid for M40 households, funds for Madani school and Kampung Angkat programmes, and the effectiveness of the Tourism Compliance Focus Zone (ZTPP) scheme. Datuk Adnan Abu Hassan of the BN-Kuala Pilah constituency will inquire about measures to assist M40 households that no longer qualify for targeted aid due to rising living costs.

Datuk Dr Richard Rapu from GPS-Betong will request a detailed breakdown of the RM50 million and RM200 million allocated to the Madani School and Kampung Angkat programmes, aiming for transparency on the financial impact and beneficiary count. Additionally, Hassan Saad from PN-Baling will seek information on the performance indicators used to gauge the ZTPP scheme's success in curbing excessive pricing complaints.

PN-Indera Mahkota's Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah will also seek updates on the National Women's Policy 2025-2030's progress. Meanwhile, PH-Bandar Kuching's Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen inquired about the Communications Ministry's plans to raise the social media age limit for gaming platforms popular with children and teenagers. After the question-and-answer segment, the House will move on to debate the Supply Bill 2027, following the Prime Minister's Budget 2027 presentation on October 9.

The debate on the Supply Bill is set to take place from October 12 to 22, with ministerial winding-up sessions from October 26. The Dewan Rakyat sitting will continue until December 8.
