No DUN dissolution announcement July 28 - CM's Office
The Sabah State Assembly building. KOTA KINABALU (July 27): Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor will not be announcing the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) on Monday (July 28) to pave the way for the 17th Sabah State Election (PRN17). Public speculation had mounted following the conclusion of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah's (Gagasan Rakyat) annual general convention at the Sabah International Convention Centre on Sunday. However, an official from the Chief Minister's Office confirmed that Hajiji is scheduled to depart for Jakarta on Monday to attend the annual Malaysia-Indonesia consultation, where matters including the Sulawesi Sea are expected to be discussed. Hajiji also confirmed to reporters on Sunday that he will be accompanying Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on a working visit to Indonesia starting on Monday. The official was responding to a viral report that claimed Hajiji would announce the dissolution of the State Assembly on July 28. The report further alleged that Hajiji would seek an audience with the Head of State on July 29 or 30 to submit the dissolution letter. It also claimed that the State Assembly Speaker would declare receipt of the dissolution notice on August 1, with the Election Commission (EC) being formally notified on August 4. According to the report, the EC is expected to meet and determine the election dates soon after, with the official announcement slated for August 11. It speculated the following timeline for PRN17: nomination on September 6, early voting on September 15, and polling day on September 20. Political analysts expect the dissolution of the state assembly after the Gagasan Rakyat congress. They speculate that Hajiji is likely to call for polls before National Day on August 31 or after Malaysia Day on September 16. Hajiji had said that he would consult the presidents of all Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) component parties before making any move to dissolve the DUN. The 16th Sabah DUN will be automatically dissolved on Nov 11 this year if it is not dissolved earlier. Under the law, the state election must be held within 60 days after the dissolution.

Published on: Sunday, July 27, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jul 27, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: For illustrative purposes only. KUALA LUMPUR: Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to accept Malaysia as a mediator in efforts to resolve the border conflict between the two countries, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said. He said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai are expected to arrive in Malaysia tomorrow evening to discuss a resolution to the conflict. 'I had the opportunity to speak with the Foreign Ministers of both Thailand and Cambodia. They both agreed that no other country should be involved in this issue. They have full confidence in Malaysia and have requested me to act as mediator. 'I am also waiting for a phone call from the US secretary of State (Marco Rubio) as they wish to know how the US can assist. 'However, I believe it is better for Malaysia to act as mediator first, as this is an internal ASEAN matter, and Malaysia, as the ASEAN Chair, should play that role,' he told Bernama after officiating the Segambut UMNO division delegates meeting here today. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

More Malaysians to benefit from Rahmah Sales with RM300m boost
RAUB: The MADANI Rahmah Sales programme will reach more Malaysians, including rural communities, following an additional RM300 million allocation. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated that the expanded funding ensures wider implementation across urban, suburban, and rural areas. 'The programme focuses on high-density urban and suburban areas, without neglecting rural areas identified according to each State Legislative Assembly,' he said after officiating the Raub UMNO divisional meeting. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim previously announced the allocation doubling to RM600 million this year. The initiative, launched in January 2023, offers daily necessities at 10 to 30 per cent discounts to alleviate living costs. Anwar noted the increased funding allows more frequent sales across all 600 state constituencies. Ahmad Zahid urged eligible groups to take advantage of the discounted prices. – Bernama
