126 objections to Sarawak’s proposed electoral boundary changes
The Election Commission says only seven representations, out of 133, supported it.
Sarawak's Election Commission is set to hold a special meeting to examine the 133 representations it has received regarding proposed electoral boundary changes. Secretary Khairul Shahril Idrus revealed that 126 objections were lodged against the proposal, which would add 17 new constituencies and raise the total number of state seats from 82 to 99.
Only seven supporters of the proposal were among the stakeholders who submitted feedback. The EC will convene the meeting to review these representations in July. Sarawak's state assembly approved the bill to add 17 seats in the previous year. However, Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof recently indicated that the proposal might not be discussed in the Dewan Rakyat this year, as it must undergo EC processes and a public display for objections and feedback.
