It was heartening to hear that Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Sarawak has passed the resolution to set up a presidential council which acts as a decision-making body in the face of any eventualities. This was announced by PBB president, the right honourable Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Abang Haji Openg who is also Premier of Sarawak.
According to him, the newly set up council will consist of the party's president, deputy presidents, senior vice presidents, vice presidents, and secretary general. The decision was made after the conclusion of 16th PBB's Triennial Delegates’ Conference held at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK).
PBB's deputy president, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas had earlier mentioned that the motion of setting up the presidential council was supported unanimously by the delegates in which it is a mechanism to be used by top PBB party leadership to brainstorm for solutions in face of any issues.
I was the one who had proposed the matter during the convention and had explained clearly that PBB needed a committee known as the "Presidential Council" comprising the president, deputy presidents, senior vice presidents, vice presidents and secretary general. It is actual a small committee and so when there are issues that need to be discussed immediately, it would be easier for the members to gather.
The formation of the committee is similar to the situation iback n 2018 when Barisan Nasional (BN) lost in the General Election and Sarawak leaders needed to come up with fast decisions in the face of the great change. He said at that juncture, several top leaders from PBB and other component parties were gathered to discuss Sarawak’s direction.
It was during that time that the decision was made to leave BN to form Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). “\And in the future, it will be more challenging with the new technology such artificial Intelligence (AI), and with the availability of handphone which makes it easy to spread news and information widely.
That is why there’s a need to have a speedy mechanism to make decisions, to decide on policies and direction.The decision will further be presented to PBB's Supreme Council for endorsement and advice. It was stressed that the role of the presidential council is to speed up decision-making process in the face of issues when fast answers are needed and to assist PBB's president to take the best appropriate actions.
