: Sarawak’s executive branch should decide on whether to remove the word ‘state’ from the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly or not, said Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar.
“Since we are a region, it is only logical that the word ‘negeri’ be dropped. So the state legislature of Sarawak should be known as Dewan Undangan Sarawak because we are not a state. He was asked to comment on a Facebook post by Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian on April 21, who stated that during a recent Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house hosted by the Sarawak Legislative Assembly, the venue was named ‘Dewan Undangan Sarawak’ instead of the commonly known ‘Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak’.
