Dewan Rakyat to discuss RON95 quality, landfill woes, foreign drivers today
KUALA LUMPUR: The quality of RON95 petrol samples, solid waste landfill mitigation, and enforcement against foreigners driving without valid licences will take centre stage in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Today, the Dewan Rakyat will delve into three key issues during its session. Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) will inquire about the results of RON95 petrol testing in five states and depots, as well as potential measures to restore consumer trust and compensate affected vehicle owners. Datuk Dr Richard Rapu (GPS-Betong) plans to question the housing and local government minister on strategies to address open dumpsites and plans for areas lacking Waste-to-Energy facilities.
Dr Siti Mastura Muhammad (PN-Kepala Batas) is set to ask the transport minister about enforcement actions against foreigners, including those with UN High Commissioner for Refugees cards and undocumented immigrants, driving without valid licenses. Hasni Mohammad (BN-Simpang Renggam) will seek updates on the early detection systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and satellite surveillance used by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, along with the coverage they provide and any gaps in capabilities.
Rodiyah Sapiee (GPS-Batang Sadong) will voice concerns over the government's readiness to combat haze, noting the potential persistence of the El Nino phenomenon until mid-2027. After this session, the Dewan Rakyat will move on to debate and respond to the Supply (Budget) Bill 2027 and the 2027 Development Expenditure Estimates.
The committee stage debate and closing session for the 2027 Budget will continue until November 26, with the Dewan Rakyat scheduled to operate for 37 days until December 8.
