I have appealed to the public and also our media friends to be patient while waiting for the official announcement for the dissolution date of the state legislative assembly (DUN). Our media friends had been highlighting this matter the past few days and the official announcement would be made sooner that expected.
I expressed my personal views that the next state election might be held anytime this year following several speculative stories on the official announcement that might be made by our Chief Minister possibly tomorrow if not today. We can feel what the media is feeling. The excitement is that we may be hearing the announcement of the DUN dissolution and what not, this one or two days.
Separately, our Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari during his function held in Sri Aman today had also appealed for our media friends to wait for "one or two days" whilst determined not to be committal on the exact date of the dissolution of Sarawak's DUN.
Being the Chairman of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), the Chief Minister had preferred to leave the matter to the Yang DiPertuan Agong as only His Majesty has the power to lift the on-going Emergency Order (EO) before its expiry on Feb 1 2022 to pave way for the state polls. On the same note, the Chief Minister Office (CMO) had also issued a statement the media fraternity not to speculate on the state's DUN dissolution date because so far there was no meeting on such matter.
