1.0 Introduction
State level elections are to fulfil the membership in the state legislative assemblies (Dewan
Undang Negeri) for each state. The head of executive branch is Menteri Besar/ Ketua Menteri
to represent their state. Those have king in their state the executive will be Menteri Besar and
other state that have no king such as Sabah and Sarawak they will be Chief Minister. Both
have the same power to govern the government in their state. (Rachagan, S. Sothi (1993).
Law and the Electoral Process in Malaysia, p. 12. Kuala Lumpur: University of Malaya
Press)
According to the state constitution Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak shall appointed the
chief minister to become member of legislative assembly and to preside over the cabinet.
Chief minister must have confidence of majority of the member in state assembly and must
not Malaysian citizen by natural or by registration. The Yang di-Pertua Negeri on the chief
minister advice shall not appoint more than four ministers among the member of the
legislative assembly. (Rachagan, S. Sothi (1993). Law and the Electoral Process in
Malaysia, p. 12. Kuala Lumpur: University of Malaya Press)
Might have other resignation circumstances that will happen such as have been defeated in
an election or the death of a chief minister, therefore the Yang di-Pertuan Negeri will
generally appoint new chief minister by the governing party as their new leader. (Rachagan,
S. Sothi (1993). Law and the Electoral Process in Malaysia, p. 12. Kuala Lumpur:
University of Malaya Press).

2.0 History
The first legislative assembly in Sarawak was formed during the rule of the King White
which in The General Council of the Kingdom of Sarawak was convened on 8 September
1867 by Charles Brooke, and James Brooke, then the Kings of Sarawak. Its members were
chosen from local leaders who were thought to be capable of assisting Brooke in
administering the kingdom. The first met council was in Bintulu. It continued to function
even after Sarawak was given to the British Empire in 1946. Since 1963, when Sarawak
joined with Malaya, Singapore and Sabah to form the Federation of Malaysia, in line with the
federal and state constitutions, the members of the Assembly have been elected
representatives. Then the Assembly originally had 48 seats. Then increase to 56 in 1985, to
62 in 1985 and to 71 in 2005. In 2014 the Assembly passed a Bill to take the number of
constituencies to 82. It has a huge number of seats than any other state assembly in Malaysia.
(article: History state Sarawak at a glance by: Abdul Aziz Harun BERNAMA).
In history of Sarawak is the only state in Malaysia that held election separately from the
general election. However in 1970 and 1974 the state held the election and parliamentary
constituencies simultaneously the situation change in 1978. During the general election the
general election join the race for parliamentary seats. Then Sarawak decided to hold state
election a year later due a group led member of the legislative assembly Repok chong and
Siew Chiang, their left the SUPP in Coalition government to form the DAP Sarawak,
therefore, because of internal problem Sarawak, their start their direct election separately with
other country in Malaysia a year later that is on 1979. When on that time the Chief minister is
Tan sri Abdul Rahman Yaakub make their decision to make election separately since that
year. (article: History state Sarawak at a glance by: Abdul Aziz Harun BERNAMA)

This are the list of chief minister Sarawak , where the first chief minister was Stephen Kalong
Ningkan was born in 1920 and death in 1997. Represent political party of Sarawak alliance
(SNAP) from 22 July 1963 until 23 September 1966. Next, second chief minister was Tawi
sli was born in year 1912 and death in1987. Represent Sarawak Alliance (PESAKA) from 7
September 1966 until 7 July 1970.Next, the third chief minister is Abdul Rahman Yakub
which is the Sarawak alliance Parti Pesaka Sarawak Bersatu (PBB) which under Barisan
Nasional. He was born in 1928 and died in 2015. He was represent as the chief minister from
7 July 1970 until 26 March 1981. Then, the next Abdul Taib Mahmud born in 1936 until now
and represent under the Barisan Nasional (PBB) from 26 march 1981 until 28 February 2014
was the longest holding title in chief Minister in Sarawak. Last but not least, the latest chief
minister was Adenan Satem also Barisan Nasional (PBB) been represent from 28 February
2014 until now. From the background of the chief minister we can see that most of the
longest ruling party was Barisan Nasional which is National front of Malaysia. Therefore, we
can see people in Sarawak belief in Barisan Nasional and vote them as their leader. (article:
History state Sarawak at a glance by: Abdul Aziz Harun BERNAMA)

2.1 History and Background of Barisan Nasional

The Alliance or now known as National front and Barisan Nasional is a unique political
formula for Malaysia. This is because the formula has succeed in uniting Malaysia from
various different religion, culture and ethnic group to become a race that is strong, successful
and has vision to bring Malaysia more successful. (Rachagan, S. Sothi (1993). Law and the
Electoral Process in Malaysia, p. 12. Kuala Lumpur: University of Malaya Press)

Barisan Nasional also known as the Alliance which formation of the confederated Malay
State peoples political party to gain independence from the British Colonial rule. This
concept was initiated by the Malays who were united under the UMNO president, Tuanku
Abdul Rahman Putra for the one main reason which is to claim independent for the
confederated Malay state. (Cheah Boon Kheng (2002). Malaysia: The Making of a Nation.
Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. pp. 147148)
After realising the difficulties in struggling for independence, the Malays (UMNO) invite in
the non- Malay to ensure the claim of freedom who reflect more of total movement.
Although, Chinese and Indian who set aside racial belief was later joined the movement
majority objective and they united with the Malays under the alliance banner, using the
Kapal Layar symbol. (Cheah Boon Kheng (2002). Malaysia: The Making of a Nation.
Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. pp. 147148)
The Malays realise they must have the political party as a vehicle for their struggle and the
birth of UMNO on 11th may 1946 was a result of combination of other races. Thus, the other
races felt that they too needed political parties for them to be heard. As a result, political
movement of races in Malaya spreaheaded by Tunku and Tan Cheng Lock founded the
alliance (PERIKATAN) the merge of UMNO and MCA. The Alliances first test was the
Kuala Lumpur Municipal Councils election in 1952 which the alliance was get huge won.
The Alliance contested in the first general Election on 27th July 1955 and won 51 out of 52
seats contested and the Alliance give the mandate to form the first government with Tunku
Abdul Rahman as the first chief Minister. He later named the first cabinet minister which
consisted of leader from various different race in Malaysia. (Cheah Boon Kheng (2002).
Malaysia: The Making of a Nation. Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. pp. 147148).

This party succeeded in freeing Malaya from British Colonial and ruled the independent
Malaya until today. It was also able to free Sabah and Sarawak from British through
Malaysia.

(http://www.arkib.gov.my/en/web/guest/penubuhan-malaysia-16-september-

1963.)
Then later Tunku Abdul Rahman was give the ideology to form a Malaysia that include
Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Singapore to form the Malaysia and become one country,
because on that particular time their aim to limitation the communist ideology.
(http://www.arkib.gov.my/en/web/guest/penubuhan-malaysia-16-september-1963.)
Before Tunku Abdul Rahman announced the approval of the formation of Malaysia, in
Sarawak there are only two political organizations of Sarawak United Peoples Party (SUPP)
leaders Ong Kee Hui, the majority of Chinese population and Parti Negara Sarawak
(PANAS) headed by Commissioner Abang Haji Mustapha whose members are the Malays.
Then Iban also establish Sarawak National Party (SNAP) under the leadership of Stephen
Ningkan.(http://www.arkib.gov.my/en/web/guest/penubuhan-malaysia-16-september1963.)
After the announcement was made the political parties in the state its began to grow
tremendously as Barisan Rakyat Jati Sarawak (BERJASA) led by Abdul Rahman and Abdul
Talib Mahmud, was originally proposed establishment of Malaysia does not get support
political party in Sarawak, particularly SUPP concerned with form new colonization of
Sarawak and SNAP are concerned the non-Malays and natives lose its identity. There is also
the party that wants to be an independent state before joining the idea and fear of Sarawak's
economy is dominated by the Central Government. But after a visit to Tunku Abdul Rahman
in June 1961 to Sarawak, in October 1962 all the political parties except the party had agreed
to join the Alliance (Barisan Nasional) in Sarawak and support efforts on the ground to

accelerate the independence of Sarawak, increase investment and development of agricultural

industry, offset the amount and the growth rate in Sarawak. With support from the state

agreed

to

2.2 History and background of Parti Pesaka

Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Sarawak.
Parti Pesaka Bersatu (PBB) is one of the group members of National front that represent
Barisan Nasional in Sarawak. Its currently the largest political party in Sarawak with
strongholds only in the rural areas the party is the one of the constituent of the ruling Barisan
Nasional. (Syam, M.F (2012). In Domination and Contestation: Muslim Bumiputera
Politics in Sarawak).
PBB party was form from the combination of three parties in Sarawak which is Parti Negara
Sarawak (PANAS), Barisan Rakyat Jati Sarawak (BARJASA) and Parti Anak Sarawak
(PESAKA). The formation of the party to purpose improvement of live hood and protect the
right of the Son of soil (Bumiputera) in any field such as politics, economy and social. .
(Syam, M.F (2012). In Domination and Contestation: Muslim Bumiputera Politics in
Sarawak).

The formation of PBB party is to ensure the domination of Muslim bumiputera in Sarawak
politics. Therefore, PANAS and BARJASA initiated a plan to combine after a few months
when the local council election of Sarawak in 1963. Initially, both parties were willing to
dissolve themselves in order to allow UMNO to enter the Sarawak. But, the UMNO not
interested accepting non-Malays bumiputera as member. Therefore, the Malaysian Federation
government recommended that the two parties combine to form separate parties. Then, the
Party Bumiputera was formed on 30 th March 1968 and Abang Ikhwan Zaini was elected as
president Bumiputera and Mancu Haji Bujang as Vice President. . (Syam, M.F (2012). In
Domination and Contestation: Muslim Bumiputera Politics in Sarawak).
Next, Bumiputera party was already started its negotiation with PESAKA party about the
merge of the parties in 1968. However, PESAKA party did not accept the idea because their
afraid that the Muslim bumiputera members will dominate the new party. Then, PESAKA
decided to join Sarawak Alliance without merge with Bumiputera Party in to preserve their
dominance in Sarawak Politics. However in 1970 state election PESAKA party only won 8
seats as compared to 12 seats by Bumiputera Party and another 12 seats by SNAP. PESAKA
was not able to nominate Tawi sli as their chief minister. Therefore another negotiation was
held between PESAKA party and Bumiputera party in 19 th September and both side agreed to
merged on 5th January 1973. Then the Party Pesaka Bersatu Bumiputera (PBB) was officially
registered on 30th April 1973 and the party was divided into two wings which the first wing
Bumiputera is represent Malays, Melanau, Kendayan, Jati Mereik, and Orang Ulu. Another
wing is PESAKA which represent Bidayuh and Iban people. . (Syam, M.F (2012). In
Domination and Contestation: Muslim Bumiputera Politics in Sarawak).

5.0 WINNING FACTOR OF NATIONAL FRONT

AT PRN SARAWAK
1 The leadership of Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem
Successful bridging the gap strife among BN component
parties in Sarawak.
Since taking over the governance of the State of the Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud in February
2014, Adenan had time for two more years to reach voters. The message he wanted to deliver
is very clear; development, autonomy (decision-making), education, good governance
'respect' to all ethnic and religious groups be the main pillars of his leadership. According to
Zahid, Adenan has implemented 53 major decisions during the two years of his
administration. Speaking at the same event, Adenan just ask one term from voters to prove
what he can do for the state. The reforms carried out so far as the renegotiation of oil royalty
rates by the central government, with the abolition of tolls, land tax losses, the North Borneo
Highway and so it was well received by voters in Sarawak. That is why in most of the areas
he visited, the aura that is felt not like a political campaign, but rather a friendly session
between the leaders and the people. (.http://wartadaily.com.my/faktor-kemenanganpilihanraya-negeri-sarawak.)

2. Bahasa Malaysia remains as the national language,

English as second language.
Emphasizing the use of English in Sarawak is not intended that the state government ignored
the language of Malaysia, said Minister of Welfare, Women and Family Development Datuk
Fatimah Abdullah. Instead, she explained that Malaysia will remain a national language in
Sarawak while the English as a second language. In fact, he also stressed that the emphasis
was

bilingual

in

Sarawak

will

not

cause

split

in

society.

3. Recognize the use of the Unified Examination

Certificate (UEC) and approved an allocation of RM3
million for a private school in Sarawak.
Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) has received recognition from the state government
as a qualification for entry into the state civil service and state public university, University
Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Senator Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian said Chief Minister Tan Sri
Adenan Satem has given approval for recognizing examination certificates standard for
Chinese secondary schools that are also on a part with the Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia
(STPM). Chief Minister Adenan Satem today reiterated his commitment to the development
of Chinese independent schools, especially in Sarawak. He said in 2014, the state government
gave RM3 million to the Sarawak United Association of Private Chinese Secondary School
Management Board to be distributed to the 14 Chinese private schools in the state, and this

year

the

funding

would

amount

to

RM5

million..

4. Abolish the use of the term "other people" in all

documents and official forms as there are more than 32
ethnic groups in Sarawak and they cannot be referred to
as "other race".
The use of the term ' other races ' to refer Sarawak Bumiputeras in all documents and official
forms repealed, effective immediately, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The
abolition of the term ' other races ' to represent ethnic groups in Sarawak in documents and
official forms is between 53 principles and actions undertaken by Adenan the Chief Minister
of Sarawak since in February 2014. (KOTA SAMARAHAN, April 16 (Bernama) )

6.0 Conclusion
As the conclusion we can see that Nationals Front (Barisan Nasional) won the state election
because their locality chief minister Adenan Satem itself came from Sarawak and represent
their constituent. In fact, he also implements 53 major decisions during the two years of his
administration this fulfill the Barisan Nasional Slogan JANJI DITEPATI. Next, Maintain

the Malay language as their main language and English become the second language. This
show how national front very consent about culture and language in Sarawak that have been
use since our great grandparent. This show that how Barisan Nasional can tackle the situation
that been issued in Sarawak. Barisan Nasional have uniqueness in the political party such as
every member of their political party that join in Barisan Nasional represent their own culture
and ethnic for example Parti Pesaka Bersatu Bumiputera (PBB) that combination people of
Sarawak such Iban, Melanau and Malay under Barisan Nasional. The United in National front
show that their can make major winner in the next election.
