KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) members must continue supporting the party and fellow members even if they are not nominated to contest in the upcoming 13th Sarawak General Election (SGE13).
PBB’s President, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg reminded members that they were representatives of the party and must preserve its culture of collective responsibility.
“We must continue to fight in the spirit of PBB even if we are not chosen as candidates,” he said.
He said this during the PBB Southern Zone Special Convention 2026 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here today.
Abang Johari stressed the importance of mutual support among members, regardless of individual political positions.
“Just as the others support us, we must also support the others,” he said.
Referring to earlier remarks by PBB’s Senior Vice-President, Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof, on the achievements recorded during his leadership of PBB and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), Abang Johari credited his predecessors for laying the foundation for the party’s success.
He also reminded delegates that PBB’s achievements were not attributable to any single individual, pointing to the contributions of previous generations of party leaders and members.
“In fact, our success is the result of the struggles of leaders before me and earlier PBB members. Our success today is not mine alone. It is the success of PBB and our partners in GPS,” he said.
Having said that, Abang Johari said maintaining a strong party was important for political stability, which he linked to sufficient revenue and Sarawak’s ability to remain self-reliant.
“That is why, in this coming election, we must win all 82 seats, insya-Allah,” he said.
