SHAH ALAM, Oct 29 — The Selangor State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting from November 14 to 27 will run longer than usual, extending beyond the typical 4.30pm adjournment time, says Selangor State Assembly Speaker Lau Weng San.
He said the decision was made to allow more time for assemblymen to debate and raise issues affecting the people, particularly as the Selangor Budget 2026 would also be tabled during the session.
“I plan to extend the duration of the debate slightly so that all assemblymen will have enough time to express their views and discuss important issues for the benefit of the people.
“This time it will be longer, beyond 4.30pm. Many people-related issues will be raised and debated, so we expect the session to go on for a longer period,” he told reporters during an engagement session with the media here today.
Lau said topics expected to draw attention included flooding, public transport, investment, Visit Selangor Year 2025, the Putra Heights gas pipeline fire, and the construction of the Shah Alam Sports Complex (KSSA).
He said the Selangor assembly sitting would proceed as scheduled despite coinciding with the Sabah state election.
Lau added there was no need to amend the dates of the sitting as notices had already been issued to assemblymen and the dates had also received the consent of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
“The Selangor assembly sitting will follow a tight schedule to ensure all matters, including the tabling and approval of the Selangor Budget 2026, can be completed and gazetted within the first week of December,” he said.
The Selangor assembly sitting will commence with the tabling of the Selangor Budget 2026 by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari on November 14, followed by sessions from November 17 to 21 and November 24 to 27. — Bernama
