  "account": "On November 5, several critical topics were set to be discussed in the Dewan Rakyat. First, Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) planned to inquire about the quality of RON95 petrol samples from across five states and depots, as well as the government's measures to restore consumer confidence and compensate affected vehicle owners. Additionally, Datuk Dr Richard Rapu @ Aman Begri (GPS-Betong) was set to question the Ministry of Housing and Local Government regarding the long-term strategy for managing open dumpsites in rural local authorities and plans to curb waste accumulation in areas without Waste-to-Energy plants. Siti Mastura Muhammad (PN-Kepala Batas) was scheduled to ask the Transport Minister about enforcement mechanisms against foreigners, including UNHCR cardholders and undocumented immigrants driving without valid licenses, during an oral question-and-answer session. Furthermore, Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad (BN-Simpang Renggam) intended to seek updates on the early detection radar system, unmanned aerial vehicles, and satellite systems used by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA), as well as the percentage of 24-hour surveillance coverage and the remaining asset capability gaps in the agency. Lastly, Rodiyah Sapiee (GPS-Batang Sadong) was prepared to discuss the government's preparedness measures to prevent and address potential haze episodes, given the El Nino phenomenon is expected to persist until mid-2027. Following the question-and-answer session, the Dewan Rakyat would proceed with the committee stage debate and ministerial replies for the Supply (Budget) Bill 2027 and the Motion on 2027 Development Expenditure Estimates. The committee stage debate and budget winding-up session were set to continue until November 26, according to the Dewan Rakyat calendar. The Dewan Rakyat was scheduled to convene for 37 days until December 8.",
