The session resumed after approximately five minutes, focusing on a debate concerning amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code, proposed by MP Husnee Mubarik on behalf of the government.

During the session, only MP Mohamed Ismail addressed the bill, with the outage occurring while the MP was speaking, leaving no other members to continue the discussion.

The proposed amendments highlight ten primary computer and computer-related offences.
