Mohd Shahar Abdullah (BN-Paya Besar) meanwhile will ask the finance minister about the government's measures to increase the dividend rate in rebuilding the contributions of the Employees Provident Fund at a faster rate by taking into account long-term investment portfolio strategies and the short- and medium-term global economic risks.

The current Dewan Rakyat will sit until March 30.
