The second session involved Members of Parliament from the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (Bersatu); People's Justice Party (PKR); Democratic Action Party (DAP); Sabah Heritage Party (Warisan) and National Trust Party (Amanah).

Members of Parliament from DAP were the last delegation to leave after spending three hours in the National Palace.
