Legislative
The legislative branch of the Sarawak Government passes all State laws and oversees the policies and expenditure of the executive branch. The Sarawak State Legislative Assembly, or Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN), consists of 71 State assemblymen headed by Yang di-Pertua Negeri. Its administration is run as the State Civil Service, headed by a State Secretary. The Legislative Assembly is vested with the power to make laws that do not come under the purview of the Federal Parliament. The Legislative Assembly is a symbol of State sovereignty within the Federation of Malaysia and upholds the values and principles of democracy and the constitution.
