The upcoming session of the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) will mark the last sitting of the current term, Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Asfia Mohd Sama said in Kuching on Tuesday.

The announcement indicates that a new legislative session will follow once the current term formally concludes, setting the stage for what observers expect could be developments in the state's political landscape.

The Speaker's statement comes as Sarawak continues its legislative business under Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg's administration. The state assembly typically holds multiple sittings throughout the year to conduct government business and deliberate on matters of state importance.

The exact date of the final sitting and the timeline for subsequent developments have not been detailed, though the Speaker's confirmation provides lawmakers and stakeholders with clarity on the legislative calendar ahead.
