2 faktor tentukan 17 kerusi baharu DUN Sarawak sempat guna pada PRN
Ahli SPR berkata, tempoh penyelesaian kajian semula persempadanan kerusi dan tarikh DUN Sarawak jadi penentu.
Sarawak's Representation Society (SPR) is still uncertain whether the 17 newly proposed Sarawak parliamentary seats will be used in the 2025 general election (PRN). SPR member Mohd Faisal Syam Abdol Hazis stated that the decision depends on two factors: the time required to complete a review of the redistribution of seats and the date of the Sarawak state assembly dissolution.
These two factors have prevented SPR from providing a definitive answer. Firstly, the revision of the seat redistribution needs to be finalized before the 17 newly proposed seats can be confirmed. SPR has been given a two-year period to complete this process. Secondly, the timing of the dissolution of the Sarawak state assembly is unknown; it will be automatically dissolved in February 2027.
On September 1st, SPR began displaying notices for additional new electoral districts and changes to electoral district names in Sarawak. The notices will be displayed until September 30th at various district offices throughout Sarawak to allow the public to submit objections. According to the notice, SPR has reviewed the redistribution of Sarawak's 10 districts and 17 new constituencies into federal and PRN districts in line with Fasal (2) Clause 113 of the Constitution.
The review process, which took two years to complete, resulted in the addition of 17 new federal constituencies and the renaming of 10 existing ones. Additionally, one federal constituency within Sarawak has been proposed for renaming. Meanwhile, speaking about the revision of Sarawak's DUN seat distribution, Mohd Faisal Syam said that this review must be prepared within a two-year period following the notice publication on September 1st last year.
He added that several stages or processes need to be completed before the 17 new seats can be confirmed. "At present, we are in the process of displaying notices. After this, if there are objections, we need to conduct a local investigation. This also takes time. "After this objection period, SPR needs to sit down again and investigate all objections.
What is valid, we accept and add it; what is not valid, we discard. After that, we will submit a final report to the Chief Minister."
