13:00 - The Education Ministry aims to have 75% of students with special needs (MBK) in its Inclusive Education Programme (PPI) with mainstream students by 2023.

19:57 - Datuk Liew Vui Keong says that the government no longer sees a need to establish a tribunal to probe alleged misconduct of the Election Commission (EC) in the run-up to and during the 14th General Election (GE14), due to the appointment of a new EC chairman and the upcoming departure of 5 of the commission’s members.
