The 15th Parliament convenes again today for the second and last time this year.
On the agenda today, a mini budget to keep the government running.
We will be bringing you the updates from time to time.
10.05am: Dewan Rakyat speaker Johari Abdul extends condolences to flood victims on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (PN-Machang) highlights that Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman (Muda-Muar) had submitted an emergency motion to debate the floods.
Johari says he will consider the motion.
9am: After breezing through a vote of confidence yesterday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will table several motions today to fund government operations.
This is because the government has yet to finalise a new Budget for 2023.
The version tabled by BN in October was never passed as the Parliament was dissolved before it could be debated.
The mini budget to be tabled today appears to have two components.
The first is to take RM107.7 billion from the government's Consolidated Fund, most likely to finance operations.
The second component involves RM55.96 billion from the Development Fund, likely to fund development projects in the interim.
There will not be a session for oral questions today, and it will be all business once the bell rings at 10am.
The Yang di-Pertuan Agong's royal address, which is typically delivered on the second day of a new Parliament convening, has been postponed to the next Dewan Rakyat session slated for some time early next year. - Mkini
