KUCHING: It is up to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to decide on when the Sarawak state election should be called as the state is still under an Emergency, says Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

The Communications and Multimedia Minister said while the election is due since the Sarawak Legislative Assembly's term was supposed to expire on June 6, legal aspects relating to the Emergency (Essential Powers) (Sarawak) Ordinance had to be considered.
