YB Chong Chieng Gen, Member of the Padungan State Legislative Assembly
*Sarawak State Assembly Live Broadcast Opposed by GPS*
There is no law preventing the live broadcast of the Sarawa state assembly conference. Only GPS doesn't want live broadcast.
The Sarawak state assembly conference will take place on 20 to 29 Nov 2023. It is very sad that the Sarawak State Assembly meeting is not broadcast live for public viewing. Asked if there is any law that prevents the Sarawak State Assembly meeting from being broadcast live on TV, Radio or social media. There is no law preventing it - said Chong. Only the desire for GPS is the only obstacle. GPS Sarawak government does not want the DUN conference to be broadcast live. I will continue to insist that there be a live broadcast - said Chong. In fact, according to Chong, the quality of the answers given by the GPS minister was also very disappointing and most of my questions were not answered directly. Instead answered through a written answer. Even so, I will get an answer 3,4 months after the conference. Sometimes, what I ask is different, and the answer is different. This time I will ask a question to the Premier of Sarawak, what is the total number of races in Sarawak who hold positions in the state public service. I want detailed statistics.
