New MyKad security features, transboundary haze measures among topics in Dewan Rakyat

By Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — The justification for introducing a new-generation MyKad, its security levels, and cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia in tackling cross-border haze are among topics expected to take center stage during the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

According to the Order Paper, during the question-and-answer session, Mohamad Shafizan Kepli (GPS-Batang Lupar) will ask the Minister of Home Affairs to explain the extent to which enhanced security features, chip technology, and identity verification systems on the new MyKad can combat forgery, cloning, and the misuse of citizens’ identities, while ensuring their personal data remains protected.

Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin (PN-Masjid Tanah) will ask the Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives to state the percentage of micro-entrepreneurs who received financing and assistance from the ministry’s agencies from 2023 to 2026, those who successfully upgraded their business category to small or medium enterprises (SMEs), and the business failure rate after three years.

Additionally, Zahir Hassan (PH-Wangsa Maju) will pose a question to the Minister of Transport regarding the full implementation schedule of the open payment system for all public transportation services in the Klang Valley.

Following the question-and-answer session, the sitting is scheduled to proceed with the tabling of the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons (Amendment) Bill 2026 for its first reading by the Minister of Home Affairs.

The sitting will then resume the debate on the Supply Bill 2027 at the policy stage following the tabling of Budget 2027 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the Minister of Finance, on October 9.

Based on the calendar for the Third Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 15th Parliament, the policy-stage debate on Budget 2027 runs from October 12 to 22, prior to the winding-up sessions by relevant ministers for four days beginning October 26.

The Dewan Rakyat sitting will run for 37 days until December 8. — Bernama
