SPAOH – A total of 238 members representing 17 women’s and youth branches of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Bukit Saban Branch N.37 took part in a sports programme at the Spaoh Futsal Court on 8 November 2026, with the event focusing on strengthening relationships and encouraging greater participation among members.

The programme brought together representatives from both movements for a day of sporting activities aimed at promoting teamwork, building connections between branch members and encouraging healthy recreational pursuits.

It was officiated by Bukit Saban PBB Women’s Movement head Natasha Nasa Uggah and attended by Roseline Mapong Sabai, Political Secretary to the Premier of Sarawak.

The gathering provided an opportunity for members from the 17 branches to interact outside their usual organisational activities while reinforcing cooperation between the women’s and youth movements.

Natasha said the active participation of women and young members was important in ensuring both movements continued to contribute to positive social activities and the wider development of their communities.

She also highlighted the importance of maintaining strong coordination within the party’s organisational structure, particularly among women’s branch committee members.

In addressing the participants, Natasha called on committee members to strengthen their cooperation and ensure the women’s movement remained prepared to carry out its organisational responsibilities when required.

She said effective coordination at branch level was necessary to maintain an organised and responsive party structure, particularly in preparation for upcoming elections.

“Each branch needs to play its own role and ensure that the Women’s machinery is always ready. The agreement, cooperation and commitment of all members is very important to ensure that the party’s work can be carried out in an organized and effective manner,” she said.

Her remarks placed emphasis on the role of individual branches in maintaining organisational readiness and ensuring that members understood their respective responsibilities.

The programme also highlighted the importance of involving women and young people in activities that encourage active participation, leadership and cooperation. Sporting events can provide a setting for members to develop teamwork while strengthening communication and relationships across different branches.

For the women’s and youth movements, maintaining regular engagement through community and recreational programmes can also help sustain participation beyond formal party meetings and organisational activities.

Natasha expressed hope that similar initiatives would continue to be organised as platforms for strengthening relationships among members and encouraging a stronger sense of togetherness within both movements.

She noted that close cooperation between the women’s and youth branches was important not only for organisational coordination but also for supporting activities that benefit local communities.

The participation of 238 members from 17 branches reflected the involvement of both movements in the programme, bringing together members through a shared sporting activity in Spaoh.

Beyond its recreational purpose, the gathering provided an opportunity to reinforce communication and cooperation among members while highlighting the contribution women and young people can make to local community activities.

The programme concluded with an emphasis on continued collaboration, member participation and the importance of maintaining strong connections between the Bukit Saban women’s and youth movements. — Sarawak Daily
