:: Ketua Menteri Sarawak akan bersara...?

Laporan berita portal KM akan bersara tidak benar: Abdullah

Posted on January 11, 2014, Saturday

TANJUNG MANIS: Laporan portal berita mengatakan Ketua Menteri Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud akan bersara dari politik pada 28 Februari depan adalah tidak benar dan spekulasi semata-mata.

Ketua Setiausaha Politik Ketua Menteri Abdullah Saidol berkata, laporan itu tidak benar kerana tiada pengumuman rasmi daripada mana-mana termasuk daripada Ketua Menteri sendiri.

“Saya tidak tahu dari mana sumber itu atau spekulasi ini berpunca. Sebenarnya tidak ada dan tidak benar sama sekali,” katanya ketika ditanya mengenai laporan itu.

Abdullah ditemui selepas majlis pembukaan tidak rasmi Kuwait Finance House (KFH) di sini, semalam.

Dalam laporan tersebut, Ketua Menteri dikatakan menyuarakan hasratnya untuk bersara dari politik dan memberikan tarikh 28 Februari sebagai tarikh yang sesuai.

Laporan itu mendakwa, tarikh yang dipilih itu membolehkannya dilantik sebagai Tuan Yang Terutama (TYT) Yang di-Pertua Negeri yang baharu selepas persaraan TYT sekarang yang dijangka pada Mac depan.

Abdullah yang juga ADUN Semop berkata, semua itu berpunca daripada berita-berita atau cerita-cerita yang dimainkan di media sosial.

“Kita juga tidak tahu dari mana mereka mendapat sumber ini. Beliau (Taib) tidak ada membuat pengumuman apa-apa dan saya tidak dapat hendak memberi komen,” jelasnya.

Sehubungan itu, beliau menyifatkan mereka yang membuat spekulasi itu sebagai berniat tidak baik serta tidak menghormati suara majoriti.

“Saya rasa sejak akhir-akhir ini kita tahu siapa dan pihak memainkan isu ini. Perkara ini biarlah kita serahkan kepada Ketua Menteri sendiri membuat keputusan,” katanya.

‘Kepulangan’ Adenan semarak spekulasi pengganti KM

07/06/2011 8:17pm

KUALA LUMPUR 7 Jun - Pelantikan Tan Sri Adenan Satem sebagai menteri dengan tugas-tugas khas negeri yang menguruskan sebahagian besar perkara berkaitan tanah, menyemarakkan spekulasi bahawa beliau berada semula di barisan hadapan bagi jawatan Ketua Menteri Sarawak.

Bekas menteri dalam Kabinet persekutuan ini adalah Penasihat Khas di Pejabat Ketua Menteri sebelum dilantik ke jawatan yang baru, dan juga Ketua Penerangan Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).

Meskipun beberapa penganalisis politik berhujah bahawa pelantikan Adenan menganggotai Kabinet negeri membayangkan kemungkinan terdapat perubahan besar dalam pelan peralihan Ketua Menteri, namun ada pihak yang percaya bahawa beliau mungkin tidak akan berada di barisan hadapan.

"Taib (Ketua Menteri Sarawak Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud) melantik Adenan sebagai anggota Kabinet untuk memberi saingan (mengenai siapa yang perlu menggantikan beliau). Tidak ada beza pun memandangkan beliau (Adenan) telah menghadiri mesyuarat Kabinet (negeri) atas kedudukannya sebagai Penasihat Khas (kepada Ketua Menteri yang bertaraf menteri negeri). Pelantikan ini hanyalah untuk menjadikan kedudukan itu formal,” kata penganalisis politik Prof James Chin dari Monash University Malaysia. - Bernama

MAN OF THE HOUR: Adenan to operate within the purview of the Chief Minister’s Office.

Tanjong Datu assemblyman appointed Minister with Special Functions in the Chief Minister’s Office

KUCHING: Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem, 67, was yesterday sworn in as Minister with Special Functions in the Chief Minister’s Office.

Adenan explained that he has no portfolio in the State Cabinet but he would be a minister with special functions to attend to matters which the Chief Minister would entrust to him.

He added that he would operate within the purview of the Chief Minister’s Office.

“Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has spoken to me about this (new appointment) and, among other things, he has asked me to deal with land matters,” Adenan told the media at his office at the Sarawak Foundation Headquarters in Semariang here yesterday.

Taib himself was also Minister of Special Functions at the federal level from 1975-78.

Adenan thanked Taib for continuing to have confidence in him to be a member of the Cabinet.

“With this appointment, my previous position as Special Advisor in the Chief Minister’s Office automatically lapsed,” he explained.

When pressed further about his new portfolio, Adenan, who is Tanjong Datu assemblyman, refused to make any comments as it was “too premature” for him to do so.

Adenan’s latest appointment would further fuel speculations on the Chief Minister’s succession plan.

The other three potential candidates are Deputy Chief Minister and PBB deputy president I Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang, Minister of Housing and PBB deputy president II Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg and PBB senior vice president Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hassan.

Political observers said that Taib is well-known for his prowess to handle the state’s political intrigues without hurting anyone of his potential successors.

The observers also noted that Taib would want to strengthen his Cabinet to face a stronger opposition in the June 20-29 sitting of the State Legislative Assembly.

The new YBs from the opposition front include lawyers Baru Bian and See Chee How who are well-known for their expertise in NCR land matters.

Before the state election, Baru had thrown a challenge to Taib for a debate on NCR land issues.

But during the BN Convention on March 5 this year, Taib, who is also the Minister of Planning and Resource Management, had tasked Adenan, who has been in politics since 1978, to take up the challenge instead.

Muhammad, a university lecturer, is the son of former Batang Sadong MP Datuk Wahab Suhaili and Datin Badriah Ismail, while Natasha is the daughter of Datuk Ishak Amin and Datin Amrah Khasbullah from Johor.

Taib and Ragad Waleed arrived at the Grand Dorsett Subang at about 8.30pm, much to the pleasant surprise of the distinguished guests present.

Taib was clad in a purple baju melayu, while Ragad Waleed, who is from Syria, looked resplendent in a baju kurung.

Among the VVIPs from Sarawak were Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovations Datuk Fadillah Yusof, Batang Sadong MP Nancy Shukri and Regional Corridor Development Authority (Recoda) chief executive officer Datuk Amar Wilson Baya Dandot.

Apart from performing the ‘tepung tawar’ on the wedded couple, Taib and Ragad Waleed were also given the honour to cut a wedding cake to commemorate their own marriage in Kuching last month.

Taib and Ragad Waleed are expected to hold a wedding reception sometime in the middle of this month.

Although no official announcement has yet been made, it is believed that it would be held at the new State Legislative Assembly complex.

This is Taib’s second marriage.

The Chief Minister and the late Puan Sri Datuk Amar Laila were married in 1959 and have four children.

Laila passed away in April, 2009.
