DUN Sarawak mungkin bubar November, kata Karim

Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industries and Heritage Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has stated that the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) may be dissolved at any point in November. KUCHING: The DUN is expected to be dissolved within two weeks of the Sarawak 2027 Budget being approved. Hamzah said the Sarawak government will not allow the DUN to dissolve on its own by February 2027, when the state government mandate ends.

"Rarely do chief ministers or premiers allow the State Legislative Assembly to dissolve on its own, usually they will request a dissolution," he said. With only a few months left from now in October, November and December, a general election needs to be held soon. The timing of the dissolution could be at any point in November, either after the Sarawak Budget or possibly two weeks after that, he told journalists after attending the Sarawak Women of Tomorrow (SWOT) 2026 program last night.

According to media reports, the DUN State Legislative Assembly session will take place from 12 to 21 October.
