N20 Sadong Jaya: An invisible hand is behind the BIG NO to Bekir

KUCHING: It was indeed a very risky decision but apparently the goal had been accomplished without any 'casualty'.

When PBB Sadong Jaya branch vice chairman Abdul Muttalib Julaihi came out with a strong statement condemning the efforts to bring Datuk Seri Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib to the constituency, many in the party were shocked.

(To openly say no to a son of the party president Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is something which not everybody is keen to do it because it is a sign of disrespect to the party president.)

Although Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud had dismissed the possibility of his son to agree to the request, it was still impolite for Abdul Muttalib Julaihi to openly say the branch didn't support any move to bring Datuk Seri Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib to the constituency.

A young and successful businessman as Sadong Jaya candidate

The name of a young and successful businessman has found its way to be in the list of potential candidates for the Sadong Jaya constituency.

Datuk Safri Abdillah is said has caught the attention of the party for his charisma as a youth leader.

He is a member of the PBB Youth Exco.

His success in making himself as a respectable young businessman is also regarded as a plus factor in making him as another potential candidate to be considered to defend the constituency in the coming state election.

'Kambing Hitam' dalam PBB harus undur

by Thun Diwan

SIBU: Selama 23 tahun menjadi Wakil Rakyat sejak kemenangan pertama pada pilihan raya negeri 1987, jangankan mendapat gelaran darjah kebesaran 'Datuk' ataupun 'Dato'',  jawatan menteri muda pun seumpama bak kata pepatah 'jauh panggang dari api'.

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) yang seangkatan, ada yang telah mendapat gelaran kebesaran itu dan dihargai dengan perlantikan sebagai menteri, namum ada yang dinafikan dan disisih jauh.

Antara yang bernasib baik ialah Datuk Wahab Aziz, Datuk Bolhassan Haji Di, Datuk Wan Wahab Wan Sanusi, Datuk Wahab Haji Dolah dan Datuk Hamden Haji Ahmad.
