The state constituency was created in the 1987 redistribution and is mandated to return a single member to the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly under the first past the post voting system. It has amongst the highest concentrations of Malay-Muslim middle-class voters in Sarawak, and consists largely of low-density residential areas with emerging commercial zones. It comprises part of a ring of the most affluent Malay-majority areas in Sarawak, which are representative of Malay, middle-class, urban settings.[1]
