KUCHING: PBB Supreme Council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has dismissed talk about him challenging Datuk Fadillah Yusof as the Youth chief come the party’s Triennial General Assembly (TGA) in October.
Abdul Karim, who is Assistant Minister for Youth Development (Urban), said he had “passed the youth era quite a long time ago” while lauding Fadillah as “a good leader”.
“Any rumour of that nature, I would look at it as just rumour. We already have a capable leader for Youth although I am not sure YB Fadillah is still going for the post.
“If he is, he will be able to look after the wing. Presently, preparation for the coming convention is going on very well and branch elections are so far so good,” he told reporters after opening the Triennial General Meeting (TGM) of PBB Batu Kawa branch at a hotel here yesterday.
Abdul Karim said ineffective leaders at the branch level would be replaced although the party’s top leadership would not see major changes.
While the party upholds the spirit of reaching consensus, he said it would not bring about a change of leadership just for the sake of changing.
“I do not see any major changes in the coming line-up since we are expecting the state election in two to three years. A change of leadership might lead to some differences and would not do good to the party.
