Our visionary Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, celebrated his 73rd birthday yesterday (August 4).
Born in 1950 in Limbang, Abang Johari is the sixth chief minister of Sarawak (now Premier), who was appointed on January 13, 2017.
On this special day, state leaders shared their heartfelt birthday wishes, hoping that the Premier continues to bring Sarawak to greater heights.

Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Department (Corporate Affairs and UKAS) Datuk Abdullah Saidol
“I always had the opportunity to view his daily or weekly working schedule, and it’s clear that he is always occupied with various official assignments all over the state. He appears to enjoy working hard.
Even when he has to travel to West Malaysia or overseas, he will still make time for working visits or walkabouts in his constituency in Gedong. My wish is for him to find time to have quality rest and always be in great health. I also hope that his enthusiasm and determination to build a greater Sarawak never diminish.”
