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) sitting will be the final one of the current term, according to Speaker Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar. However, the exact dates for the session have not yet been announced. Speaking to reporters after the "Kenegaraan Aku Kasih Malaysia: Pimpinan Belia Negeri Sarawak" seminar, Asfia stated that he will hold a press conference before the DUN, as is customary.

He noted that the date of the sitting was disclosed by the Opposition rather than from the DUN secretariat or himself. On September 10, The Borneo Post reported receiving a Sarawak Government Gazette indicating that the premier had determined the DUN sitting would take place from October 12 to 21, 2026, in accordance with Standing Order 8(2) of the DUN Sarawak Standing Orders.

The notification was dated September 10 and signed by the Secretary of the DUN Sarawak. When asked if any Bills, especially significant ones, would be introduced during the session, Asfia mentioned that his office had not yet received any Bills from the state government.
