LAWAS: PBB Bukit Sari will adopt a pragmatic approach of economic empowerment and entrepreneurship, community well-being and supporting PBB’s top leadership and party’s road map into Industry 4.0 as outlined by its party president.

On PBB Bukit Sari, he said the branch would be submitting resolutions to the party central for the upcoming convention in Kuching on Feb 9-11.
