  "account": "In Kuala Lumpur on November 4, the Dewan Rakyat will tackle national security, university governance, and misleading advertisements as key issues. William Leong Jee Keen (PH-Selayang) plans to question the Defence Minister about the government's stance on increasing tensions in the Asia-Pacific region and measures to secure national security and regional stability. Ismail Sabri Yaakob (BN-Bera) will seek clarification from the Higher Education Minister regarding the implications of the UUCA repeal on university administration and the key principles of the proposed One Higher Education Act. Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) will ask the Prime Minister about the government's methods for verifying advertisers' details, company legitimacy, licences, and the truthfulness of claims made in badal haj advertisements. Aminolhuda Hassan (PH-Sri Gading) will also inquire about the remaining recommendations from the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry that have yet to be addressed, including the target timeframe and action plan for their implementation. After the oral questions, the Dewan Rakyat will continue debating the 2027 Supply Bill (Budget) and listen to ministerial replies. The committee-stage debate spans from November 2 to 26, with the sitting lasting 37 days until December 8, according to the Dewan Rakyat calendar.",
