Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Subang Airport face heightened scrutiny over increasing drug and contraband smuggling during today's Dewan Rakyat session. Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim aims to question the Prime Minister on bolstering border security and improving coordination among law enforcement agencies in light of the growing issue.

Meanwhile, Datuk Jonathan Yasin seeks clarification on efforts to recover funds for the unfinished Trans-Sabah Gas Pipeline and Multi-Product Pipeline projects, which have received 88% of their RM8.3 billion payments despite only 13% completion. Additionally, Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali plans to query the Works Minister about troubled projects, their causes, and government action, while Onn Abu Bakar seeks accountability measures for loss-making government agencies.

The Finance Minister will be asked about the rationale behind removing censorship for PG18-rated films and the future of the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia. The Dewan Rakyat will later debate the 2027 Supply Bill on Nov 2-26.
