According to the Order Paper for today’s sitting, the three issues will be raised during the Ministers’ Question Time.
One of the questions is from Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub (BN-Machang), who wanted to know whether the environment and water ministry has plans to set up special sites for disposal of clinical waste in all states.
He said there has been an increase in waste disposal such as face masks and gloves, especially in the Klang River, since the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic in March.

Several bills, including the Supply Bill 2021 and the Malaysian Space Board Bill 2020, will be tabled for first reading today.
