Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa (PH-Sekijang) is scheduled to ask the Economy Minister about the timeline for tabling the National Ageing Action Plan in the Dewan Rakyat and the setting of specific indicators to measure the contribution of the Silver Economy to gross domestic product (GDP).

Datuk Dr Ku Abd Rahman Ku Ismail (PN-Kubang Pasu) will also ask the Digital Minister about the government’s position on global calls to slow down artificial intelligence (AI) development and the proposed drafting of the Malaysian AI Act.

The sitting will also continue with briefings on three reports by Parliamentary Select Committees and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), including those on refugee management in Malaysia and the management of court bail payments through the e-Jamin system.
