KUALA LUMPUR – The second day of the Dewan Rakyat sitting will focus on the government’s plans to attract medical graduates to continue serving in the public healthcare sector following the abolition of the pension scheme due to the implementation of the new Public Service Remuneration System, expected to begin next year.
The question will be posed by Datuk Dr Alias Razak (Kuala Nerus-PN) to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad during an oral question-and-answer session.
Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid (Kuala Kangsar-PN), meanwhile, will ask Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz to state how the government had set a target of 10,000 electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations to be established by 2025, and whether it can be achieved given the low adoption of EVs.
Iskandar Dzulkarnain will also inquire about the incentives provided to attract more middle-income individuals to own EVs.
Jamaludin Yahya (Pasir Salak-PN) will query about the number of second-generation Felcra homes that have been completed, the eligibility criteria for owning these homes, and an explanation regarding several delayed projects.
After the oral question-and-answer session, the meeting will continue with the debate on the motion of thanks for the Royal Address.
