KUCHING: The Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) will convene for a Special Sitting on 7 July.

Sarawak Legislative Assembly Speaker, Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nasar said the Special Sitting follows a notice issued under Standing Order 8(3) after receiving an official request from Sarawak Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Openg.

According to him, no Bills have been submitted thus far for tabling during the Special Sitting.

“In response to the request, I have issued notices to all 82 Assemblymen to attend the Special Sitting scheduled for 7 July 2025.

“However, as of now, I have not received any related Bills, and any further comments at this stage would be purely speculative,” he said in a press conference after officiating the First Series of the Third Term of the Student Parliament Programme, here on Wednesday.

Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia also informed that a pre-council meeting and press conference will be held as soon as any Bills are received, to provide further explanation on the purpose of the Special Sitting.

When asked whether the Special Sitting relates to the possible redelineation of State and Parliamentary constituencies in Sarawak, he said the matter cannot be confirmed until official documents are submitted.

However, he did not rule out the possibility.

“Whether the number of seats will increase or decrease, I am unable to say at this point because I have yet to receive any Bills. Therefore, I cannot comment further,” he added. -UKASnews
