According to the Order Paper on the official website of the Malaysian Parliament, Aminolhuda Hassan (PH-Sri Gading) will ask the Minister of Education about the new syllabus, which will be implemented by 2027, and the ministry’s plans to enhance student performance in literacy and numeracy.

Manndzri Nasib (BN-Tenggara) will question the Minister of Home Affairs on the latest status of the next-generation identification card to replace the current one as a measure to combat identity fraud.

In the same session, Chiew Choon Man (PH-Miri) will ask the Minister of Finance whether the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) could strengthen the i-Lindung programme through subsidies and negotiations with insurance companies to provide medical coverage up to the age of 99 at affordable rates.
