KUCHING — Lawmakers in Sarawak will gather for the concluding session of the current assembly term later this month, with the state's 2027 budget allocation topping the legislative agenda.
The 10-day sitting, scheduled to run from October 12 to 21, will deliberate on four Bills in total, according to state legislative officials. The Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) must clear these measures before the current term concludes.
The 2027 budget represents a key item on the chamber's docket, reflecting the state government's spending priorities and fiscal planning for the year ahead. The additional three Bills have not yet been detailed, though their passage during this final sitting would complete outstanding legislative business for the current assembly term.
The October sitting marks a significant moment for the Sarawak legislature as it finalizes pending matters ahead of what would typically be followed by fresh electoral processes or reconstitution of the assembly.
State officials have indicated that the sitting will proceed as scheduled, with all four Bills expected to receive full consideration from the assembled representatives.
