KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 ā The quality of RON95 petrol, waste management and enforcement against foreigners driving without valid licences are among the key issues scheduled for discussion in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Several Members of Parliament are expected to raise these matters during the question-and-answer session.
The discussions will cover consumer concerns, environmental challenges and road safety enforcement.
RON95 petrol quality under scrutiny
Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman, MP for Kuala Krai, is scheduled to ask the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister about the results of RON95 petrol sample tests conducted across five states and fuel depots.
He also wants clarification on the government’s immediate steps to restore public confidence.
Another concern is whether vehicle owners affected by suspected fuel quality problems will receive compensation.
Parliament to discuss waste management challenges
Datuk Dr Richard Rapu @ Aman Begri, MP for Betong, will raise concerns about the long-term management of critical open landfill sites.
He is also seeking details about plans to manage waste in rural districts without Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facilities.
The discussion comes amid growing pressure on local authorities to manage increasing amounts of daily waste and improve disposal facilities.
Enforcement against unlicensed foreign drivers

Meanwhile, Rodiyah Sapiee, MP for Batang Sadong, will seek details about preparations to prevent and manage haze episodes.
