Dewan Rakyat: Sukhoi SU-30MKM among the topics today
KUALA LUMPUR: The issue over national defence assets pertaining to the Sukhoi Su-30MKM and MIG-29 fighter jets, is expected to be among the hot topics at the Dewan Rakyat today.
According to the Dewan Rakyat order paper, the question will be raised by Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PAS-Pasir Mas) who wants the Defence Minister to state whether the government is willing to accept Russia’s offer to take back the Royal Malaysian Air Force assets if Malaysia will replace them with newer models.
Also expected to steal attention is a question from Noorita Syuai (PH-Tenom) who will ask the Education Minister regarding the status of Teacher Education Institute (IPG) on whether it should be closed down or otherwise.
Besides these, the question over the government’s readiness to repeal Sedition Act 1948 and replace it with a new law to maintain order, to be raised by Ahmad Fahmi Mohamed Fadzil (PH-Lembah Pantai) to the Home Minister, is also expected to draw attention.
The Dewan Rakyat sitting, which is into its 27th day today, is scheduled to run until Dec 5.
