KUCHING: The sudden passing of Tan Sri Adenan Satem has left Sarawak feeling a huge loss but it has also left the state with a big question – who will fill the vacuum left by the very popular Chief Minister?

Several names have been put forward but chief among them is that of PBB deputy president Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg. Abang Jo, as the veteran politician is known, has been the man in charge – of the funeral arrangements, anyway – since the passing of Adenan.
