The GPS lawmaker said this was because the Emergency was still in place until Aug 1 and only after then would the Sarawak legislative assembly be dissolved.

"Therefore, the Sarawak legislative assembly which was suspended from the date the emergency was declared on Jan 12, will lapse at one minute after midnight on Aug 1, unless the Prime Minister, after consultation with the Chief Minister of Sarawak, advises the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that a new Emergency be declared," Wan Junaidi, who is a lawyer, said when contacted on Tuesday .

The Sarawak legislative assembly's five-year term was due to end on June 6 this year, following which the state election must be called within 60 days, but this was suspended due to the Emergency. He noted that the Sabah state election last September had caused a second wave of Covid-19 in the country.
