KUCHING, Nov 15: “Ya mana katanya lah. Sik ada kena mengena dengan kita,” says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, brushing aside Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS)’s proposal to limit the Premier’s tenure to two terms.
Asked to comment on PBDS president Dr John Brian Anthony’s manifesto pledge, Abang Johari said the proposal had nothing to do with him.
“He also has his own manifesto. Don’t forget that,” he told reporters after officiating the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Southern Zone Special Convention 2026 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) here today.
Previously, Dr John had announced the proposed two-term limit as one of PBDS’s key pledges for the 13th Sarawak Election (PRN13), saying it was intended to prevent any individual from holding the Premier’s office for too long.
Among the party’s other proposals are limiting the Premier to holding only one ministerial portfolio and allocating RM150 million annually over five years to accelerate the surveying and registration of Native Customary Rights (NCR) land under Section 18 of the Sarawak Land Code. — DayakDaily
