KUALA LUMPUR – Encroahcment into Malaysian waters, especially in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and delays in issuing orders to rescue flood victims are among key issues expected to be discussed in Parliament today.

Datuk Seri Mohd Salim Sharif (BN-Jempol), meanwhile is expected to ask the Prime Minister to verify claims that the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) had been slow in issuing for flood rescue efforts that eventually led to the Armed Forces conducting its own operations instead.

In addition, Ahmad Johnie Zawawi (GPS-Igan) will be asking the Senior Works Minister on the latest status of the Sarawak Pan Borneo Project (Phase 2) following the Prime Minister’s recent  announcement that the project will be continued after it was shelved by the previous Pakatan Harapan government.

Besides that, Datuk Zakaria Mohd Edris (Bersatu-Libaran) ask the Science, Technology and Innovation Minister to provide updates on the National Vaccine Development Roadmap (PPVN) and the Malaysia Genome and Vaccine Institute (MGVI) which are targeted to turn Malaysia into a hub for vaccine production.
