During the same session, S. Kesavan (PH-Sungai Siput) will ask the Foreign Minister to outline the government’s latest efforts to defend the rights of Muslims in Gaza following the brutality of the Israeli Zionist regime and the world’s failure to halt such atrocities.
In the question-and-answer (Q&A) session, Datuk Seri Dr Ismail Abd Muttalib (PN-Maran) will ask the Prime Minister about the government’s efforts to resolve issues related to the Saudi Visa Bio application, which was found to be flawed when some haj pilgrims failed to register their biometric data despite several attempts.
