the current chief minister of Sarawak and PBB
president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Haji Abdul Taib
Mahmud.
BUMIPUTERA and PESAKA combined to form PBB on
the 30th April 1973.
Tun Jugah who was Sarawak’s Internal Affairs
Minister of Sarawak was appointed as the first
president of PBB.

component parties has strengthened the position
of the Bumiputeras.
