KUCHING: The sight of a light metallic blue Rolls Royce with a pri- vate Kuching registration number KR1963Q here turned a few heads. Seated inside was Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.

While it is not unusual for the Chief Minister to go around in a car other than the official one bearing the “Ketua Menteri Sarawak” plate, it has drawn attention to his impending resignation after leading the state government for 33 years.
