PM Anwar To Table 13MP In Dewan Rakyat Today
According to the Order Paper on the official Parliament website, Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, is scheduled to table the 13MP at noon, following the Minister's Question Time and oral question session, which begins at 10 am.
After the tabling of the 13MP, the Dewan Rakyat sitting will be adjourned before the debate on the plan begins next Monday and is expected to run for eight days, followed by ministers' replies over four days starting Aug 18.
In a Facebook post yesterday, the Prime Minister said the 13MP, themed 'Melakar Semula Pembangunan', was formulated as a comprehensive development plan focused on ensuring equitable and fair upliftment without sidelining any group.
He said its preparation involved extensive engagement sessions with various stakeholders across sectors, backgrounds and regions, including state governments, to ensure the people's voices were genuinely reflected in the nation's future planning.
Meanwhile, issues concerning the protection of rights and progress of the Orang Asli community in the country, as well as the registration process for recipients of the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) assistance, are among the matters to be discussed during the Minister's Question Time.
Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias (BN-Jelebu) will ask the Minister of Rural and Regional Development whether the government intends to amend the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 (Act 134) currently in force to ensure continued protection of rights and advancement of the Orang Asli community.
During the same session, Syerleena Abdul Rashid (PH-Bukit Bendera) will ask the Finance Minister to explain the registration process and how individuals can qualify and utilise the RM100 allocation under the SARA initiative for all.
Separately, Kalam Salan (PN-Sabak Bernam) wants the Education Minister to clarify the percentage of graduates from the Institute of Teacher Education (IPG) who have received their desired placements and the criteria considered in the placement process.

Thailand suggests Malaysia host key border security meeting with Cambodia
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim with Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet (left) and Thailand's acting prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai after Monday's meeting in Putrajaya. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Thailand has proposed Malaysia as the neutral venue for the upcoming general border committee (GBC) meeting with Cambodia. Thailand's defence ministry spokesman Surasan Kongsiri said the proposal was in line with the standard international practice of not holding meetings between disputing parties on the territory of one of the nations involved in the conflict, Bernama reported. 'The GBC meeting provides an opportunity to jointly explore a way forward in de-escalating tensions and resolving border and security issues, reflecting our shared commitment to peace, stability, mutual respect, and good neighbourliness,' he said in a statement issued in Bangkok. Surasan said given the sensitive nature of the situation in both countries, it would be more appropriate to hold the meeting at a neutral venue, such as Malaysia. 'While it is acknowledged that, under normal circumstances, bilateral meetings are held on a rotational basis – and that Thailand most recently served as host – this upcoming session is of an extraordinary nature. 'I therefore believe it would be appropriate to convene the meeting at a neutral location,' he said. Thailand's acting defence minister Natthapon Nakpanich is slated to attend the GBC meeting, which Cambodia has proposed to host on Aug 4. Surasan said sufficient time should be given for comprehensive discussions and suggested that the meeting be held from Aug 4 to 7. On Monday, Cambodia and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire following deadly clashes along their border. The agreement was reached at a meeting attended by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet, and Thailand's acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai. More than 35 people have been killed and over 270,000 displaced in both countries since the latest round of hostilities erupted on July 24.
