KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 (Bernama) -- The government’s plans and follow-up actions regarding Pulau Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca) are among the issues to be raised at today’s Dewan Rakyat sitting.
According to the Order Paper on the Parliament’s website, Manndzri Nasib (BN-Tenggara) will ask the Foreign Minister about the matter, including diplomatic, legal and bilateral negotiations with Singapore to ensure that the country’s sovereignty and maritime interests are preserved, during the question-and-answer session.
At the same session, Datuk Azman Nasrudin (PN-Padang Serai) will ask the Prime Minister to state the social impact of rapid development and urbanisation in the Federal Territories on local communities, particularly in terms of social competition and the rising cost of living.
