All former state ministers who won their respective seats in the Sarawak polls have been retained in the state government.
KUCHING: All eight former state ministers, who retained their respective seats in the just-concluded Sarawak election, were sworn in as members of the new state cabinet here today, after the Barisan Nasional (BN) formed the government.
The Cabinet members, comprising five from Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) and one each from Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) and Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP), took their oath of office before Yang diPertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng at the new Sarawak State Legislative Assembly building in Petra Jaya here.
They were led by Deputy Chief Minister and PBB deputy president Alfred Jabu, PRS president Dr James Masing and SPDP president William Mawan, whose respective porfolios, however, are yet to be announced.
The others were PBB deputy president Abang Johari Tun Openg, SUPP deputy secretary-general Wong Soon Koh, PBB vice-president Michael Manyin, PBB senior vice-president Awang Tengah Ali Hassan and PBB deputy woman chief Fatimah Abdullah.
Also present were Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud and wife, Ragad Kurdi Taib.
Taib, who is state BN chairman and PBB president, was sworn in as chief minister, shortly after the BN secured two-thirds majority in Saturday’s 10th state election.
BN won 55 of the 71 seats in the State Legislative Assembly, with the first meeting expected to convene in May this year.
