ISSUES on the country’s economy and expenditure were among main topics discussed by the Parliament this week, apart from the anti-party hopping law, as it wrapped up its fifth week of sitting.

After the motion of thanks for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s royal address, which was debated for 10 days by 129 Members of Parliament, was passed on the first day of sitting this week, the august house proceeded with the tabling of three bills, one of which was the Supplementary Supply Bill (2019) 2020 to apply for additional expenditure for services rendered in 2019 totaling RM7,005,753,850, which was then approved last Wednesday after it was debated for two days.
