KUCHING, Oct 17: The window for the dissolution of the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUNS) is becoming increasingly narrow, raising the likelihood of the State election being held on one of three December weekends, namely Dec 5, 12 or 19, said Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

He said with the current Assembly’s five-year term ending in December, the window for dissolution and the subsequent election was becoming increasingly limited, making a December poll more likely.

“Personally, I see now we are already near the end of October. We have got November and December. The election must be very, very close,” he told a press conference after officiating DayakDaily’s Sarawak Folklore Writing Competition Awards Ceremony and launching of Pewarta’s “Sarawak Folklore Book I” at Imperial Hotel today.
