KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 – The focus of today’s Dewan Rakyat sitting is on the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, a roadmap that will chart the nation’s five-year development plan from 2026 to 2030.
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.
