PBB sec-gen Stephen Rundi says party delegates will also debate digital economy and education.
KUCHING: The 14th Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) triennial general assembly to be held from tomorrow until Sunday will table the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) motion before it is submitted to the federal government.
PBB secretary-general Stephen Rundi Utom said, apart from MA63, two other motions to be presented at the general assembly are on the digital economy and education.
“We will submit the MA63 resolution to the federal government, which is supported by all PBB members, for us to continue discussing any rights that have been eroded.
“We don’t want to quarrel, we only want these rights to be restored cordially through negotiations. We have never thought of seceding from Malaysia,” he told a media conference here today.
The three-day conference is expected to be attended by 5,000 delegates, observers and members from throughout Sarawak.
Rundi said PBB president and Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg will officiate at the simultaneous opening of the PBB Women and Youth Movements general assembly tomorrow.
Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is also Barisan Nasional chairman, will officiate the 14th PBB triennial general assembly on Saturday, Rundi said.
This time, the conference will witness only the posts of vice-president (Bumiputera wing) to be contested while there will be no contests for other posts.
