  "summary": "At today's Dewan Rakyat session, several key issues were in focus, including social media age verification, travel bans over tax, and solar schemes. Wong Shu Qi (PH-Kluang) questioned the Communications Minister on the enforcement status of social media age verification since June 1, as well as actions against platforms that have yet to implement the verification process, including the status of the six-month transition period. Meanwhile, Chow Yu Hui (PH-Raub) inquired with the Finance Minister about the authority of the Inland Revenue Board to restrict overseas travel for those with outstanding instalments under the CP500 tax instalment payment notice, requesting details on when the practice began, the number of individuals affected, the legal basis for the restrictions, and the lawfulness and reasonableness of imposing such restrictions based on estimated taxes. Lastly, Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa (BN-Tampin) asked the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister about the latest achievements of the Solar ATAP and SuRIA Home programmes, including the number of households participating and measures to widen access for B40 and M40 groups through rebates, rental schemes, or easy financing options without high upfront costs. The Dewan Rakyat sitting is scheduled to run for 37 days until December 8.",
