Dewan Rakyat to discuss streamlining Communications Act, rise in property prices

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — Efforts to streamline Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 regarding the misuse of network facilities or services will be among the topics to be discussed in the Dewan Rakyat today.

According to the Order Paper, Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen will ask the Communications Minister to outline plans to review and refine Section 233 to ensure its scope and application do not allow room for misuse, during the oral question-and-answer session.

Meanwhile, Puncak Borneo lawmaker Datuk Willie Mongin will ask the Housing and Local Government Minister to present the ministry's policies and strategies for addressing the rise in property prices and the shortage of affordable housing.

Also drawing interest is a question from Pekan MP Datuk Seri Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali regarding the government’s readiness to utilise artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the military sector to strengthen Malaysia’s defence capabilities.

After the session, the proceedings will continue with committee-level winding-up debates on the Supply Bill 2025 by various ministries.

Yesterday, the Dewan Rakyat passed the Supply Bill 2025 at the policy stage following debates that began on October 21.

This Dewan Rakyat session runs for 35 days from October 14 to December 12.
