KUALA LUMPUR:
The Sulu claim to Sabah, the second littoral combat ship (LCS) project, and the “dark side” of social media are among the highlights of the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

The House reconvenes this morning for the second meeting of the third session of Parliament.

According to the order paper published on the Parliament website, William Leong (PH-Selayang) will ask the prime minister to state the latest status of the Sulu heirs’ claim during the oral question-and-answer session.

Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz (PN-Tanah Merah) will ask the defence minister about the progress of the construction of the second LCS project and the amount of payment made to Lumut Naval Shipyard.

Siti Aminah Aching (BN-Beaufort) will raise a question to the communications minister on the government’s plan to curb the “dark side” menace on social media, and the actions to be taken against account operators carrying out online prostitution activities on X and Telegram.

Also listed on the order paper is the motion from the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department to refer Wan Saiful Wan Jan (PN-Tasek Gelugor) to the rights and privileges committee following his statement alleging that individuals purportedly acting on behalf of the government could cancel or drop court charges against him.

The House will meet until July 18.
