PETALING JAYA: The daily sitting at the upcoming Dewan Rakyat meeting might be extended into the night to accommodate the packed schedule, with the main focus being the tabling and debate of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP).
Speaker Johari Abdul said the sittings, which will begin at 10am, could possibly continue until 10pm or 11pm, reported Bernama.
Johari said his office has received a wide range of motions from MPs ahead of the next meeting, which is set to start on Monday and conclude on Aug 28.
He noted that the tabling of the 13MP is particularly significant as it offers the country an opportunity to showcase its resilience and progress amid global uncertainties.
Johari also encouraged Malaysians to engage with their MPs directly by tagging them in posts on social media platforms.
“Don’t wait until they return to their constituencies to complain,” he said at an event in Sungai Petani.
“Raise issues while Parliament is in session.”
