List of Malaysian State Assembly Representatives (2013–2018) explained
The following are the members of the
Dewan Undangan Negeri or state assemblies, elected in the
2013 state election and by-elections. Also included is the list of the Sarawak state assembly members who were
elected in 2016.
[1] The opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat that contested the general elections in 2013 was dissolved after series of disagreements between two main parties, Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS).[2] A new opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan was formed by the Democratic Action Party, People's Justice Party (PKR) and newly formed party National Trust Party (PAN), consisting of ex-PAS members.[3] Several ex-UMNO members have also formed their own party Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU) and have signed an electoral pact with Pakatan Harapan to contest the future general election and ensure straight fights against Barisan Nasional.[4] On 20 March 2017 BERSATU officially became a member of Pakatan Harapan.[5]
