Sarawak budget to be tabled at final state assembly meeting
A supply bill for 2027 and a supplementary budget for 2026 would be among four bills to be tabled.
Sarawak's state assembly will convene from October 12-21 for its concluding session of the year. Among the four bills set to be introduced during this meeting is the 2027 budget, alongside a supplementary budget for 2026. Deputy Premier Douglas Uggah Embas will present these financial plans in the form of supply and supplementary supply bills.
Additionally, two other bills, the Sarawak State Library Amendment and the Public Holidays Amendment, will be tabled. The library reforms aim to enhance governance and create a memorial archive to honor Sarawak's notable figures, events, and heritage. The Public Holidays Amendment seeks to clarify procedures for replacing holidays when two coincide on the same day. The state assembly's term concludes at the year's end, necessitating elections by mid-February.
