Guest: Dr. Wong Chin Huat, Political Scientist, Sunway University

The Election Commission has unveiled its proposed boundary maps for Sarawak, following the State Assembly’s decision to expand from 82 to 99 constituencies. While officially aimed at improving voter representation, redelineation exercises often spark debates over gerrymandering, malapportionment, and political advantage.

Dr. Wong Chin Huat, Political Scientist at Sunway University and co-founder of Project SAMA, joins BFM’s Morning Brief to share his analysis of how these new boundary proposals reshape power dynamics and what voters should scrutinise before the objection window closes.
