Taib: My son resigned for personal reasons, not politics


KUCHING: Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said his son Datuk Seri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman’s decision to quit as deputy minister had nothing to do with politics.

He said Sulaiman’s wish to leave the Federal administration was based on personal reasons as he was still affected by the death of his mother, Puan Sri Laila Taib, who succumbed to lung cancer on April 29.
