Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71982, member: 636"] Sarawak will enlarge its state cabinet to manage its increasing administrative workload and development goals. State Legislative Assembly Speaker Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar explained that the expansion is necessary following the creation of additional assembly seats. He stated that the current practice of ministers handling multiple portfolios is unsustainable for effective governance. Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg will announce the specific details of the new ministerial appointments. The Speaker defended the decision as a political reality required for Sarawak's ambition to become a premier regional entity. He clarified that the number of deputy ministers remains unrestricted and can be appointed as needed. The upcoming legislative sitting will also address several government bills, including the annual supply bill. [/QUOTE]
