PETALING JAYA:
Sabah chief minister Hajiji Noor has hinted that the state assembly sitting today could be the last before the next state election.

According to a Borneo Post report, when asked if it marked the end of the current legislative term, Hajiji replied with a smile: “More or less, yes.”

He, however, declined to give a timeline on when the assembly would be dissolved.

“I cannot say that now… just wait. Be patient, it won’t be long. I will dream about what date is best,” he said.

Hajiji said discussions on seat allocations among Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) component parties and their allies are still ongoing, on the basis of a GRS-PH state government.

State assembly speaker Kadzim Yahya recently said the current state assembly term would expire automatically on Nov 11, if it is not dissolved earlier.
