PBB to launch pro tem committee for new youth wing

KUCHING (Oct 1): Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) is set to establish a pro tem committee for its new youth wing, targeting members aged 18 to 28, on Oct 5 and 6 in Sibu.

PBB secretary-general, Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi, said all necessary procedures and regulations for the formation of the new wing have been completed and these will be tabled at the party’s general assembly next year.

“The regulations must be presented at the general assembly, approved by the Registrar of Societies (ROS), and only then can they be fully implemented,” he said in a statement released by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) today.

Earlier, Nanta, who is also the Works Minister and Kapit MP, attended the PBB Supreme Council meeting, chaired by party president and Sarawak Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, last night.

Also present at the meeting were PBB deputy president Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, senior vice-presidents Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof and Datuk Seri Dr Stephen Rundi Utom and permanent chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nasar. – Bernama
