Malaysia to add six state assembly seats across three Sarawak constituencies

The Elections Commission (SPR) has put forward recommendations to expand representation in three key Sarawak constituencies by adding a total of six new state assembly seats. Under the proposal, the constituencies of Sibu, Miri and Petra Jaya would each see their Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) representation grow from three seats to five seats per constituency. The move is intended to better reflect population distribution and voter demographics in these areas. The proposed redistribution reflects demographic shifts and voting patterns in Sarawak's urban and semi-urban centres. The Elections Commission typically conducts such boundary reviews periodically to ensure equitable representation across parliamentary and state assembly constituencies. The recommendations are subject to further review and approval by relevant authorities before implementation.
