The Prime Minister's Office announced today that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has approved the revocation of the emergency declaration in Serian, a district in Sarawak. The approval was granted on September 7, effectively bringing an end to the emergency status that had been in force in the area.
The lifting of the emergency declaration represents a significant development for the Serian district, allowing normal administrative and operational procedures to resume. The decision follows the completion of the circumstances that had warranted the initial emergency declaration.
The emergency status had been implemented to address specific conditions affecting the district, with the declaration now formally concluded following royal approval. This marks a return to standard governance protocols for Serian as the district transitions out of the emergency period.
The termination of the emergency declaration was processed through official channels, with the Prime Minister's Office coordinating the matter with the Palace to secure the necessary royal consent. The revocation is effective immediately upon approval.
