KUALA LUMPUR 15 October 2026, Electricity tariff adjustments, the economic benefits of data centre investments and the health effects of haze are among the issues scheduled for discussion in the Dewan Rakyat today.
During Minister’s Question Time, Shah Alam MP Azli Yusof is expected to seek clarification from the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry on the reasons for higher domestic electricity charges and measures to protect households from the impact.
He will also raise the Energy Commission’s assurance that about 85 per cent of households would be shielded from the adjustment through the Energy Efficiency Incentive.
On data centres, Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail will ask how the government evaluates the net economic benefits of investments worth RM385.7 billion approved since 2021, taking into account resource consumption, incentives, job creation and local participation.
Public health concerns will also be raised, with Rasah MP Cha Kee Chin seeking details on measures to minimise the effects of haze, including air quality monitoring, public advisories and protection for vulnerable groups.
Other matters on the agenda include aviation safety following a helicopter crash in Long Lellang, Sarawak, and an assessment of preparations for the 2026 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit.
The House is also scheduled to discuss the misuse of synthetic drugs in Sarawak, proposed measures to blacklist companies involved in illegal electronic waste activities, and efforts to strengthen national unity laws addressing sensitive issues involving religion, race and the royal institution.
Parliament will subsequently hold the first reading of the Adoption (Amendment) Bill 2026 before continuing the debate on the Supply Bill 2027 for a fourth day.
The current Dewan Rakyat sitting is scheduled to run for 37 days, ending on Dec 8.
