“Well, we’ll leave it to that day. It’s not really far away—on the 7th of July there’s going to be a special sitting of the DUNS whereby there will be a motion to be introduced,” he said when responding to a reporter’s query at Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) grounds in Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) here today.

Asked for further clarification, Abdul Karim who is the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Information chief, hinted that more information would emerge closer to the date.

“You will know who is going to table the motion on that day or just a few days before that… on what actually is the motion.

“Well, sometimes it’s good to keep the cat in the [bag] first,” he added.

The upcoming sitting has sparked public curiosity as such sessions are rare outside of the scheduled State Assembly calendar. – DayakDaily
