Sarawak’s next legislative assembly sitting will be the last of current term, says state Speaker

KUCHING, Sept 22 — The upcoming Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) session will mark the final one of the current term, announced by Speaker Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar. However, the exact dates of the DUN sitting remain undisclosed at this time. Asfia confirmed his intention to hold a press conference prior to the DUN, following a seminar titled "Kenegaraan Aku Kasih Malaysia: Pimpinan Belia Negeri Sarawak."

The opposition had reportedly revealed the date, prompting Asfia's decision to announce it publicly. On September 10, The Borneo Post reported a Sarawak Government Gazette indicating that the DUN sitting would commence on October 12 and conclude on October 21, 2026. This notification was signed by the Secretary of DUN Sarawak and aligned with Standing Order 8(2) of the Standing Orders of the DUN Sarawak.

When queried about potential Bills, specifically significant ones, to be presented during the session, Asfia stated that his office has not yet received any Bills from the state government.
