From 19th to 23rd October 2013,I was given a chance to join the 13th Triennial Assembly of the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Sarawak,which was held at Borneo Convention Center,Kuching (BCCK). Of all of the members from PBB Zone 10 & PBB Youth Zone 12 (consisting of Bukit Assek,Dudong,Bawang Assan,Pelawan and Nangka),ours (Nangka) is the biggest contingent of all,with 76 members of official delegates and observers,and also additional observers.
For the entire duration of our stay in Kuching,our accomodation was arranged at Hilton Kuching.And below are the photos snapped during the stay at Kuching:

The next day,23/10/2013,We're heading home.
Bidding farewell to our convoy was the deputy head of the N49 Nangka Youth Movement,Ali Mat (Black Shirt) and also Head of N46 Dudong Youth Movement and newly-elected State Youth EXCO,Abdul Ghani Hj Sulhi.
Overall,the journey itself is a history re-written in my family.My late aunty did participate in the General Assembly during the 1970s (as I've discovered the memorabilia commemorating the 1970s general assembly) in our family mansion.Another chapter that i will always remember.
