The Sabah government is prepared to hold a state legislative assembly sitting at any time if the conditions permit, sayd Chief Minister Hajiji Noor.

“The state government has sought the advice of the National Security Council and is prepared to reconvene the state legislative assembly under strict SOPs,” he said in a statement today.

The Sabah state assembly last met on Dec 18, 21, 22, and 23. Hajiji tabled Sabah’s Budget 2021 on Dec 18. It was passed on Dec 23.
