Dewan Rakyat to cover cost of living, halal certification today

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 — Living costs, human-tiger conflict, and halal certification by the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) are among issues to be discussed in today’s Dewan Rakyat session.

According to the Order Paper on the Parliament website, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim (PN-Arau) will ask the domestic trade and cost of living minister about the government’s commitment to address public concerns over rising living costs during the question-and-answer session.

Shahidan will also ask about government measures to tackle cartels and monopolies impacting price hikes, as well as inter-ministerial planning to manage living costs.

In the same session, Syerleena Abdul Rashid (PH-Bukit Bendera) will ask the natural resources and environmental sustainability minister about moves necessary to address human-tiger conflict, such as when tigers enter settlements.

Meanwhile, Datuk Idris Ahmad (PN-Bagan Serai) will ask the Prime Minister to outline proactive government measures, besides public awareness campaigns, concerning food and beverage outlets without Jakim’s halal certification.

Following the question-and-answer session, the sitting will proceed with the policy-level Supply Bill 2025 debate wind-up.

The current Dewan Rakyat session ends December 12.
