SEREMBAN – The Negri Sembilan assembly has been scheduled to sit from September 3 to 8, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
He said the matter has been consented to by the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
“The inauguration will be done by Tuanku Muhriz on Friday (September 3), followed by several agendas, including debating the royal address and bills tabled during the sitting,” he told an online press conference after chairing the weekly state executive council meeting today.
The last time the state assembly convened was on December 3, last year.
Meanwhile, he said the state Health Department will focus on controlling 13 cases of infections categorised as variants of concern, comprising seven Beta variant cases and six Delta variant cases detected in Seremban, Kuala Pilah and Rembau.
“These cases are difficult to keep in check and we hope all forms of group activities are controlled to curb the spread of Covid-19. We must abide by this decision (of having control measures) and hope it can keep us safe. The number of cases yesterday was a warning to us,” he said.
Negri Sembilan recorded 1,033 Covid-19 cases yesterday, while 1,537 cases were recorded today.
Meanwhile, he said 342,605 individuals in the state have received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine and 142,138 have completed both doses as of yesterday. – Bernama, July 14, 2021
