  "account": "Opposition chief whip Takiyuddin Hassan has urged the postponement of a special Dewan Rakyat sitting, aimed at examining the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji, until Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim resumes his duties in Parliament. Takiyuddin emphasized the importance of Anwar's presence to deliver a thorough explanation of the report, especially considering the significant public interest in the matter. He submitted a letter to the Speaker's office yesterday, citing the health concerns of Anwar and Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, who is undergoing treatment at the National Heart Institute. Takiyuddin argued that the prime minister's presence was crucial for a comprehensive analysis, particularly since the issue had been raised by himself. The request was made under Standing Order 11(3), which permits the prime minister to convene a special session of the House in the public interest and also grants the discretion to delay the session.",
