In the same session, Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim (PN-Kuala Terengganu) will pose a question to the Science, Technology and Innovation Minister regarding plans to build a new nuclear reactor with more advanced technology to replace the Triga Puspati Reactor (RTP), which has been in use since 1982.

Roy Angau Gingkoi (GPS-Lubok Antu) will ask the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister if the government intends to take more decisive action to combat misappropriation of subsidised diesel, particularly in states bordering neighbouring countries such as Sarawak, and the proactive measures taken to address leakage and smuggling of other subsidised items.
