Tan Kar Hing (Gopeng-PH) is set to ask the science, technology and innovation minister about the country’s preparedness to explore nuclear energy generation, as well as the forms of cooperation currently undertaken with international agencies on the matter. 

Also of interest is a question from Datuk Muslimin Yahaya (Sungai Besar-PN), who wants details on the Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) proposal to build vertical schools ranging from 10 to 17 storeys. 

Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin (Kinabatangan-BN) will ask the foreign minister whether the federal government plans to involve the Sabah government in any negotiations concerning the Ambalat issue.
