KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — The quality of RON95 petrol samples, mitigation of solid waste landfills, and enforcement against foreigners driving without valid licences are among the key issues slated for discussion in the Dewan Rakyat today.

According to the Order Paper on the Parliament portal, Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) will ask the Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living to state the analysis outcome of RON95 samples across five states and depots during the Minister’s Question Time.

He is also seeking information on the government’s immediate measures to restore consumer confidence and the compensation for affected vehicle owners.

In the same session, Datuk Dr Richard Rapu @ Aman Begri (GPS-Betong) will ask the Ministry of Housing and Local Government about the long-term strategy for critical open dumpsites under rural local authorities (PBT), as well as mitigation plans for districts without Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants to curb daily waste accumulation.

Siti Mastura Muhammad (PN-Kepala Batas) is scheduled to ask the Transport Minister to elaborate on enforcement mechanisms against foreigners, including United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cardholders and undocumented immigrants driving motor vehicles without a valid licence, during the oral question-and-answer session.

Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad (BN-Simpang Renggam) is scheduled to ask the Home Minister to state the progress of the early detection radar system, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and satellite systems, the percentage of 24-hour surveillance coverage, and the asset capability gaps of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) that remain critical.

Rodiyah Sapiee (GPS-Batang Sadong) is also scheduled to ask about the government’s preparedness measures to prevent and address haze episodes, as the El Nino phenomenon is expected to persist until mid-2027.

At the conclusion of the question-and-answer session, the Dewan Rakyat will continue with the committee stage debate and ministerial replies for the Supply (Budget) Bill 2027 and the Motion on the 2027 Development Expenditure Estimates.

The committee stage debate and winding-up session for Budget 2027 is scheduled to run until Nov 26, according to the Dewan Rakyat calendar.

The Dewan Rakyat is scheduled to sit for 37 days until Dec 8. — Bernama
