The other White Rajahs
SARAWAK FOCUS Sarawak’s heir-apparent, Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib, may have resigned from his post at the Tourism Ministry, but his eyes could possibly be set on a more lucrative prize. Why be a small fish in a big pond when he can be the great white shark in …?
He may not sport the familiar Ray-Bans of his father on his walkabouts, but then, what need has he of the shades, for what Sulaiman sees is only a rose tinted view of his country.
At 40, he has led an ostentatious and wealthy life. His father is reportedly one of the richest men in the world, with assets and businesses in Malaysia and worldwide.
People may say the White Rajahs of Sarawak, who ruled the state for a hundred years, have gone. Have they, really? Isn’t the Taib Mahmud dynasty a re-incarnation of the original Brookes of England? [ lagi ]
