Sibu, Miri, Petra Jaya akan dapat 6 kerusi DUN baharu

The Election Commission (EC) has proposed adding 17 new state seats to the Sarawak assembly, as reported by Borneo Post. Three parliamentary constituencies - Sibu, Miri, and Petra Jaya - are set to gain two new seats each. In Sibu, the Sungai Merah and Bukit Kemuyang seats will be created, while Permaisuri and Tudan will be added to Miri.

The proposed new seats in Petra Jaya will be named Matang and Semarak. Currently, all three parliamentary seats in each constituency are held by the ruling state coalition Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). The EC is also proposing the renaming of several existing state seats and federal seats. Constituents have until September 30 to submit objections or representations to the EC regarding the proposed changes.
