KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) president and long-serving Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud is expected to lead the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) in the Sarawak state election but relinquish his government and party posts after the polls.

Party sources close to the top leadership also revealed that Taib, who had helmed the state since 1981, has hand-picked former Natural Resources and Environment Federal Minister Adenan Satem as his successor.

"The matter was revealed to the party supreme council at its meeting on Sunday. All the supreme council members have sworn to keep the matter a secret until the time is right for an announcement to be made," a source told FMT.

If the rumours turn out to be true, the next Sarawak Chief Minister could be a woman.

There is intense speculation that Abdul Taib Mahmud has made up his mind to pick as his successor Tanjong Manis MP Norah Abdul Rahman, his cousin and the daughter of Taib’s predecessor Tun Abdul Rahman Yakub. If so, Norah would be both Sarawak’s and Malaysia’s first woman Chief Minister.

Earlier this month, Taib said he was ready to call it a day if the people no longer wanted him. His statement sparked a chain of speculation as to who would succeed him. Among names that were touted were Abang Johari Abang Openg, Abang Openg Abang Sapiee, Adenan Satem, Alfred Jabu Numpang and Awang Tengah Awang Ali.

KUCHING:  Small cracks are already appearing in the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Deputy President Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Abang Haji Openg team over a plan to hold an Information Workshop for all the party's branch leaders.

All four key members of his core team of five members – namely YB Datuk Abdul Wahab Abdul Aziz, YB Dr. Abdul Rahman Junaidi, YB Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali, YB Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah – were strongly against the idea of ‘hijacking’  the PBB Information Chief role which is now performed by the Special Advisor to the Chief Minister’s Department Tan Sri Adenan Satem.

The idea was mooted by Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg’s most trusted man Ibrahim Baki who is also his deputy in the PBB Satok Branch.

SIBU: Menteri Perumahan dan Pembangunan Bandar Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Abang Haji Openg harus mengambil langkah bijak dan pendekatan halus untuk memastikan Pelan Peralihan Kuasa dalam genggamannya, dapat direalisasikan.

Asfia and his grandiose plan (Part 1 of 2)

by Sebanaku Sarawak

KUCHING: Don't have mercy!!! Go for a kill at the earliest opportunity!!! But if you miss the opportunity, then get ready to be killed!!!

Many politicians subscribe to this 'to-kill-or-be-killed' mindset. As a matter of fact, it could be said that virtually all politicians are subscribing to this mindset.

The reason is that it is the only way to go up in politics. It is for this reason that not many are willing to be in politics.

PAS NOT HAPPY WITH ADENAN

by Sebanaku Sarawak

KUCHING: Special Advisor to the Chief Minister's Department Datuk Amar Adenan Satem might be telling the truth when he told Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Sarawak and Democraric Action Party (DAP) not to be too ambitious after winning the Sibu parliamentary election.

As he pointed out to the new Sibu MP Wong Ho Leng, DAP only won one seat and despite of what they said about their victory, BN is still THE government - and Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is still the Chief Minister.

Ho Leng seemed to be receptive to this argument although he did make some noises when Adenan was telling him this in the State Legislative Assembly few days ago.
