Leaving an eventful year behind


Abang Johari Tun Openg pledged to continue Adenan

2017 has been an eventful year for Sarawak.

It started on a sombre note when popular chief minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem passed away on Jan 11. His sudden demise, just shy of three years since he became chief minister and eight months after winning the state election handsomely, shocked and saddened many Sarawakians, who had come to appreciate his no-nonsense style of leadership and approach to issues like illegal logging, multicultural harmony and state rights.
