The architecture of the new complex combines unique elements of Sarawak's heritage with state-of-the-art intelligent building automation systems, multimedia communication facilities, and environmentally-friendly features. The new complex development covers and area measuring 172 acres near The Astana (Governor's Residence) on the banks of Sarawak River in Petra Jaya, Kuching. The new chamber can hold up to 108 members, each with their own office. It also has 142 seats for civil servants, 86 in the VIP gallery and 106 in the public gallery.

This new DUN complex, perched on the promontory on the pristine bank of the Sarawak River and nestled between the Astana and Fort Margherita, has been described as one of the most beautiful buildings in Southeast Asia. It is also a depiction of the state’s struggles and achievements over the years after gaining independence through the formation of Malaysia and as a multi-racial society. Reinforced by nine gigantic pillars and numerous arches, the building reflects the sovereignty of the people’s power as well as the support of all the races in the state. The Dewan Undangan Negeri (State Legislative Assembly) is the legislature of Malaysian states. There are 13 Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) in the country, corresponding with the 13 states in Malaysia. The DUN is composed of the head of states (Sultan, Yang di-Pertua Negeri, Raja, or Yang di-Pertuan Besar), a Speaker, and elected members of the DUN. Members of the DUN comprises single-member elected representatives from state electorates (State Assembly Districts) during state elections. Members are elected through the first-past-the-post system. (For those elected in 2008, see State Seats Representatives, 12th Malaysian General Election.) The DUNs have powers to enact state laws as allowed by the Constitution of Malaysia. The party forming the majority in the DUN will form the state government, and the leader of the majority party will become chief minister. After the March 2008 general election, the Barisan Nasional coalition were the majority party in eight states, while the opposition won five states. In February 2009, BN regained Perak after 3 Pakatan Rakyat assembly members defected. The DUNs are unicameral, unlike the bicameral Parliament of Malaysia. The complex is located near Sarawak River in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. It is located next to The Astana, which is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri (Governor) of Sarawak. The building was officially opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on 27 July 2009. -source wikipedia- credit : Etika Shadura

Nissan introduced the GT-R SpecV on January 7, 2009 at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon.[73] Exterior changes from the base GT-R consist of a carbon fiber rear spoiler, grille, and brake ducts, along with an exclusive Ultimate Black Opal paint job. Interior changes include a set of carbon fiber Recaro front seats with the rear seats being completely removed. Carbon fiber covers the center storage box, instrument panel, and replaces the majority of the interior trim. The GT-R SpecV is powered by the standard twin-turbo 3,799 cc (3.8 L; 231.8 cu in) V6 with no increase in horsepower. A new high gear boost controller that allows a temporary increase in boost pressure to the IHI twin turbochargers, now larger than those on the standard GT-R, should deliver more torque in mid to high-range revs. Other mechanical changes include a titanium exhaust, reworked suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and 20-inch (510 mm) NISMO wheels. Overall weight is decreased by 132 lb (60 kg) over the standard GT-R.[74] Japan sales began on February 2, 2009 at seven pre-selected dealers who are staffed by mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and are knowledgeable of racing circuit driving. Pricing is set at ?15,750,000 (over US$160,000). Nissan has yet to announce any plans to sell the Spec V in the USA. In Auto Express testing the SpecV posted a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds, pulled 1.12 g on the skidpad and 74.7 mph in the slalom. An earlier tested Corvette ZR1 resulted in an identical slalom speed but a lower 1.06 g on the skidpad.[75]
