Sarawak still in Emergency, state minister says after questions arise over external Budget 2022 sitting

KUCHING, Oct 11 — Sarawak has to hold a special sitting for its Budget 2022 outside the state legislature due to certain legal issues stemming from its current status under Emergency law, according to Datuk Seri Karim Rahman Hamzah.

“But the Budget has to get the endorsement or otherwise next year who is going to pay the salaries of the civil servants?” he told reporters here before flagging off a statewide expedition organised by a local online news portal DayakDaily. “After the Cabinet has given its approval, it will be extended to the assemblymen. That is why they are called to attend the special meeting tomorrow,” he said.

Wong had noted that all assemblymen had been invited to attend the special Budget 2022 meeting at the convention centre on October 12, but said those from his party will not be going as long as it is outside the lawmaking house.
