KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has indicated that the recent two-day State Assembly sitting may be the last before the next state election, though he declined to reveal the date for the dissolution of the assembly, which is due to expire automatically on November 11.
“It's likely the last sitting, but I can't announce the date yet. Be patient. Not long now,” he told reporters on Tuesday after the session.
Hajiji confirmed that discussions with political partners on seat allocations are ongoing and will be finalised before the assembly is dissolved. He emphasised that the current government is based on a GRS-Pakatan Harapan alliance.

“Much has been done, but challenges remain, such as water issues we inherited. However, upgrades are underway. Other initiatives include road improvements, student support, housing aid, and broader welfare programmes,” he said, urging voters to give GRS another mandate.
He described the just-concluded assembly sitting as a key platform to showcase the government’s achievements, highlighting the passage of bills related to carbon governance, forestry, land, and additional budget allocations for state management and development.
