During the same session, Kuala Kangsar MP Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid will raise a question to Anwar regarding the progress of the Madani government’s efforts to address hardcore and overall poverty.

In the question-and-answer session, Labis MP Pang Hok Liong will ask the Housing and Local Government Minister about the ministry’s readiness to mandate the 10:90 ‘build-then-sell’ (BTS) housing scheme nationwide to curb the issue of abandoned housing projects, especially condominium developments, and to better protect buyers.
