Question

Accepted Answer

Key Figures Appointed to the New Public Accounts Committee

Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun, the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, appointed new members to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on November 3. The committee's chairman, Wong Kah Woh (PH-Ipoh Timur), and deputy chairman, Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun (Bersatu-Beaufort), were previously appointed on August 27. Wong Kah Woh, Nurul Izzah Anwar (PH-Permatang Pauh), and Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun are retained members from the former Pakatan Harapan administration.
Newly Appointed PAC Members

The newly appointed PAC members include Datuk Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh (Bersatu-Sabak Bernam), Yamani Hafez Musa (Bersatu-Sipitang), Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan (BN-Pontian), Tan Sri Noh Omar (BN-Tanjong Karang), Datuk Jalaluddin Alias (BN-Jelebu), Lukanisman Awang Sauni (GPS-Sibuti), Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PAS-Pasir Mas), Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman (PAS-Sik), Nurul Izzah Anwar (PH-Permatang Pauh), Datuk Dr Mohd Hatta Md Ramli (PH-Lumut), Wong Shu Qi (PH-Kluang), and Ahmad Hassan (Warisan-Papar). These appointments follow a period where the committee was unable to conduct its duties due to the absence of newly appointed members.
Impact of Government Changes on PAC Composition

The previous Pakatan Harapan administration saw five PAC members transition into ministerial or deputy ministerial roles following a change in government in March. This shift necessitated the appointment of new members to ensure the committee's continued functionality and oversight capabilities. The chairman, Wong Kah Woh, had previously urged the Speaker to ensure the swearing-in of all new PAC members when the Dewan Rakyat convened.
Planned PAC Activities and Reporting Schedule

With the new members in place, the PAC has outlined a schedule of briefings and activities. Chairman Wong Kah Woh indicated plans to table one PAC report in the week following the appointments and a second report the week thereafter. This proactive approach aims to address the backlog and resume the committee's essential functions of scrutinising public expenditure.
