KUALA LUMPUR: Legislation to curb "Ali Baba" licensing practices, Malaysia's diplomatic efforts to sustain the Gaza ceasefire and the fate of a troubled housing project are among the key issues expected to be raised in the Dewan Rakyat today.

According to the Order Paper, Syahredzan Johan (PH-Bangi) will ask the Economy Minister about the progress of drafting the Anti-Rent-Seeking Act and the timeline for its tabling in Parliament to curb Ali Baba licensing practices.

The conflict in West Asia is also expected to feature prominently, with Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman (PN-Sik) seeking an update from the Foreign Minister on Malaysia's diplomatic efforts at the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to ensure the Gaza ceasefire holds and humanitarian aid continues to reach the territory.
