MDEC-funded digital games, status of five LRT3 stations among Parliament highlights today


KUALA LUMPUR: Local digital games which have received funding from the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), and the latest status of the five Light Rail Transit Line 3 (LRT3) stations, are among the key issues to be discussed in Monday’s (Oct 28) Dewan Rakyat sitting.

According to the Order Paper published on the Parliament website, Syahredzan Johan (PH-Bangi) will ask the Digital Minister, during the question-and-answer session, about local digital games, either computer or video, which have received MDEC funding since 2014. He will also request details on the amount of funds allocated to each game, and their respective sales revenues.

In the same session, Azahari Hasan (PN-Padang Rengas) is scheduled to ask the Transport Minister for an update on the continuation of the previously cancelled five LRT3 station project, including the projected date of operation and the implications of any additional costs compared with the original estimates.
