THE Education Ministry’s (MOE) plan to have more vocational colleges that offer skill courses in the electric vehicles (EV) industry will be among the focus in the Dewan Rakyat today.

According to the Order Paper on the parliament’s official website, the matter will be raised by Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju-PH), who also wants to know the MOE’s plans to increase technical and vocational education training (TVET) courses that are more relevant with current technological developments.

The issue of “Ah Long” (unlicensed moneylenders) will also be raised during the question-and-answer session through a question by Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (Besut-PN) to the home minister.

He wants to know the government’s efforts to address violence committed by “Ah Long”, including damaging property, even of those who do not borrow from them.

Tan Kok Wai (Cheras-PH) is expected to ask the government, through a question to the health minister, regarding the shortcomings in the national healthcare system, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, which are not consistent with the “health for all” aspiration and the comprehensive healthcare system reform plans that will be implemented to enhance the wellbeing of the Malaysian population.

The Electricity Supply (Amendment) Bill 2023 is also scheduled to be tabled for the second reading today.

This Dewan Rakyat session will go on until November 30. – Bernama, October 11, 2023.
