THE issue of the no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is expected to be the highlight during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Based on the order paper, the matter will be raised by Hassan Abdul Karim (PH-Pasir Gudang) through a question to the prime minister.

Hasan wants to know when the 26 motions on the vote of no confidence and two motions on the vote of confidence would be tabled, debated and put to vote.

Wan Hassan Mohd Ramli (PAS-Dungun) will ask tourism, arts and culture minister on the ministry’s short-term strategy to optimise domestic tourism activities now that the restriction on inter-state and inter-district travel has been lifted.

Wong Shu Qi (PH-Kluang) will ask the government whether the Pakatan Nasional (PN) government will reintroduce the goods and services tax (GST) or wealth tax to increase revenue.

Meanwhile, the debate and winding up of the Supply Bill 2021 at the committee stage will also continue with three more ministries today – Youth and Sports, Human Resource and Communications and Multimedia Ministry.

The winding up by the Communications and Multimedia Ministry is expected to be a heated one as it will involve allocation for the Department of Special Affairs (Jasa), which has been rebranded as a Community Communication Department (J-Kom) and given different roles and functions. – Bernama, December 10, 2020.
