Parliament to debate RON95 targeted subsidy, dividend tax implementation

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Targeted subsidies for RON95 petroleum and the mechanism that will be used for the implementation of the two per cent tax on dividend income exceeding RM100,000 for an individual shareholder are among the matters that will be discussed in the Dewan Rakyat today.

According to the Order Paper on the official Parliament website, the question will be raised by Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong to the prime minister during the Minister’s Question Time session. 

In the same session, Kota Bharu MP Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan will ask the prime minister to state the government's solution to the Duta Enclave crisis in Mukim Batu following the High Court’s ruling directing the Federal government to return 106.54 hectares of land on Jalan Duta to Semantan Estate Sdn Bhd.

During the oral question session, Balik Pulau MP Datuk Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik will seek an answer regarding the government's plans to upgrade and maintain underground utilities in the capital and how the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) can prioritise safety and efficiency in underground maintenance projects.

Following this session, the Dewan Rakyat meeting will proceed with the debate on the Supply Bill 2025. The Budget was tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the finance minister, on October 18.

So far, 105 MPs from the government, opposition and independent blocs have participated in the debate session on the Bill.

The Dewan Rakyat will not sit this Wednesday and Thursday in conjunction with Deepavali.
