Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu’s 16th General Assembly Concludes
KUCHING, Feb 16 (Bernama) – The Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu’s (PBB) 16th General Assembly, which concluded today, did not discuss any preparation to face the upcoming Sarawak state election, which is due by next year.
New Proposal for Enhancing Decision-Making Process
Instead, the assembly resolved to propose the formation of a council to be known as "Majlis Yang Dipertua" or Presidential Council, as a mechanism to speed up the decision-making process on the direction of the party.
Composition of the Council
According to PBB Deputy President and Sarawak Deputy Premier, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, the proposed council would comprise the party’s Yang Dipertua (President), his two deputies, two Senior Vice-Presidents, and the Secretary-General. Their role would be to discuss urgently on any matter that concerned the party’s direction and policies.
Speeding up Decision-Making Process
"It is a small committee, when an issue need to be discussed urgently, it will be easier because calling for the party’s supreme council meeting (MKT) may take some time," Uggah said.
Additional Layer of Decision-Making Body
The formation of the council, once approved by the Registrar of Societies to be included in the party’s constitution, would come as another layer of decision-making body in PBB, after its general assembly and supreme council.
"The MKT is still an important part of the party. Majlis YDP is to speed up our ability to make decision in the face of certain issues which need to be decided as fast as possible. This is a big organisation in PBB because we have another layer of authority, apart from the General Assembly and MKT," he said.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the PBB’s 16th General Assembly aimed to enhance the party’s decision-making process by proposing the formation of a new council, which would comprise key party leaders. This move is expected to speed up the process of discussing and deciding on important issues that concern the party’s direction and policies.
