Seventy-nine out of the 82 newly-elected Sarawak assemblypersons took their oath of office before speaker Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar at the State Assembly Building in Kuching today.
They were led by Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg, who is Gedong assemblyperson.
Also taking their oath today were the three deputy chief ministers - Douglas Uggah Embas (Bukit Saban), Awang Tengah Ali Hasan (Bukit Sari) and Dr Sim Kui Hian (Batu Kawah) - followed by other members of the state’s cabinet and elected representatives.
The swearing-in ceremony for the other three assemblypersons will be held at a later date.
Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) led by Abang Johari won 76 out of the 82 seats contested in the Sarawak state election last Dec 18.
The first meeting of the first session of the 19th State Assembly begins today and five bills are expected to be tabled this week.
