‘This may be my last time’: Abang Johari hints at possible final term as PBB president, calls on younger leaders to step up

Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, addressing a PBB convention, emphasized the importance of leadership succession, urging older leaders to pave the way for younger members.

Acknowledging the natural cycle of leadership, he highlighted the need for continuous training of young leaders to sustain the party's mission.

At 76, Abang Johari indicated this might be his final term, expressing confidence that the party will persist through systematic preparations for future leadership transitions.

MIRI, Sept 13 — “This may be my last time.”

That was the candid message from Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg as he called on the older generation to make way for younger leaders to carry on the responsibility and struggle of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).

The PBB president said leadership succession was a natural process and that the party must continuously prepare and train younger members to take over when the time came.

“I’m 76 years old, in four more years I’ll be 80.

“I want to be frank, this may be my last time. We cannot go against nature, even though our hearts may still feel young. Even if we feel young at heart, we cannot go against nature. But I will make the decision when the time comes.

“We are already getting old, and it is time for us to give way to the younger generation to carry on the responsibility and the struggle,” Abang Johari said this in his speech when officiating at the PBB Northern Zone Special Convention at Miri Indoor Stadium here today.

According to him, the party’s struggle would continue despite changes in its leadership, urging members not to feel disappointed when the time came for them to make way for younger leaders.

“Sometimes we feel disappointed when we are replaced. But this is the law of nature, the old are eventually replaced by the young.

“Leaders come and go. There comes a time when we say thank you and allow new people to take our place. But the spirit of PBB must be carried on by those who love Sarawak.

“What I mean is that we cannot go against nature. But PBB will always be there because we have a system to ensure the continuity of PBB,” he said.

He said the younger generation must be properly trained, not only in leadership but also in dealing with society and people of different backgrounds and religions.

“The successors must be trained, trained in how to communicate with people, how to engage with different communities and how to interact with people of different religions, so that there will be no toxicity,” he said.

Abang Johari said he was grateful to have been trained by leaders before him and believed the same responsibility must now be carried out by the current generation towards younger party members.

He said PBB had already introduced new faces, including young leaders, during the previous election.

“Therefore, those of us who are older should give way to the younger generation,” he said. — The Borneo Post

巴丁宜首相丹斯里阿邦佐哈里在土保党大会上发表讲话，强调了领导层更迭的重要性，敦促老一辈领导人为年轻成员铺平道路。

他承认领导层的自然更迭周期，并强调需要不断培养年轻领导人，以维持党的使命。

76岁的阿邦佐哈里表示，这可能是他的最后一个任期，并表示有信心通过系统地准备未来的领导层过渡，使该党能够继续发展下去。

美里，9月13日——“这可能是我最后一次了。”

这是巴丁宜首相丹斯里阿邦佐哈里·敦·奥本的坦率信息，他呼吁老一辈领导人让位给年轻一代领导人，让他们继续承担土著保守党（PBB）的责任和奋斗。

土保党主席表示，领导层更迭是一个自然的过程，该党必须不断培养和训练年轻成员，以便在时机成熟时接任。

“我今年76岁，再过四年我就80岁了。”

“坦白说，这可能是我最后一次了。我们不能违背自然规律，即使我们内心依然年轻。即使我们感觉自己年轻，我们也不能违背自然规律。但到时候我会做出决定。”

“我们已经老了，是时候把责任和奋斗交给年轻一代了。”阿邦佐哈里今天在美里室内体育馆为土保党北部地区特别大会主持开幕式时发表讲话时说道。

他表示，尽管党的领导层发生了变化，但党的斗争仍将继续，并敦促党员们在需要为更年轻的领导人让路时不要感到失望。

“有时我们被取代时会感到失望。但这是自然规律，老年人最终会被年轻人取代。”

“领导人来来去去。总有一天我们会说声谢谢，让新人接替我们的位置。但PBB的精神必须由热爱砂拉越的人传承下去。”

“我的意思是，我们不能违背自然规律。但PBB会一直存在，因为我们有一套系统来确保PBB的持续发展，”他说。

他表示，必须对年轻一代进行适当的培训，不仅要培养他们的领导能力，还要培养他们与不同背景和宗教信仰的人们相处的能力。

他说：“必须对继任者进行培训，培训他们如何与人沟通，如何与不同的社区互动，以及如何与不同宗教信仰的人交流，这样才不会产生不良影响。”

阿邦佐哈里表示，他很感激前辈领导人对他的培养，并认为现在这一代人也必须对年轻的党员承担同样的责任。

他表示，PBB在上届选举中已经推出了一些新面孔，包括年轻的领导人。

“因此，我们这些年纪大的人应该把机会让给年轻一代，”他说。——《婆罗洲邮报》
