KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — Disruptions to internet access and the impact of the conflict in West Asia on the country’s fuel subsidy expenditure are among the key issues expected to be raised in the Dewan Rakyat today.
According to the Order Paper on the Parliament website, Datuk Anyi Ngau (GPS-Baram) will ask the communications minister about the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) plan to address the lack of internet access despite mobile devices showing full signal strength.
Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman (PN-Bachok) will ask the finance minister about the government’s latest assessment of the West Asia conflict’s impact on the country’s fuel subsidy expenditure, and how the overall rise in subsidy costs would affect this year’s fiscal deficit target.
Jamaludin Yahya (PN-Pasir Salak) will ask the finance minister about measures to help self-employed individuals, small traders, hawkers and gig workers obtain financing for their first home despite not having fixed salaries.
Yeo Bee Yin (Harapan-Puchong) will seek clarification from the women, family and community development minister on the establishment of regulations for confinement centres.
The Dewan Rakyat will then proceed with tabling the Communications and Multimedia (Amendment) Bill 2026 and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (Amendment) Bill 2026 for their second readings after the question-and-answer session.
The two bills were tabled for first reading on Monday.
The current Dewan Rakyat sitting ends tomorrow after a 16-day run.
