Sarawak needs you until 2030, PBB veteran tells Abang Jo
Peter Minos also asks who would take over as Sarawak premier, saying Abang Johari Openg has set 'an extremely high' standard.
A Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) veteran has urged Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg not to retire from his position, suggesting he should continue as leader until 2030. This comes after hints by PBB president Peter Minos that this could be the premier's final year in office. Abang Johari, who will turn 80 in 2030, has been the Sarawak chief since January 2017, succeeding Adenan Satem who passed away from a heart attack in office.
Many Sarawakians are already inquiring about who will succeed him, as Abang Johari has set a high standard that is difficult to replicate. According to Minos, the GPS leader has many promising successors within the PBB, but a leadership transition is inevitable. Abang Johari has acknowledged the upcoming leadership succession, stating that it is likely his last term as premier, while the state assembly's term ends in February unless dissolved earlier.
