MIRI (June 23): Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sarawak extended its deepest condolences to Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and his family following the passing of his beloved wife, Puan Sri Datuk Amar Juma'ani Tuanku Bujang.
In a statement today, PKR Sarawak chairman Roland Engan described the late Juma'ani as a devoted wife and loyal confidante who stood by the premier throughout his political journey.
'She was everything to him — a wife, friend and source of strength behind his leadership. Her quiet but firm presence over the years was admired by many,' he said.
Roland said PKR leaders and supporters across the state join all Sarawakians in mourning her passing.
'We share the sorrow of the Premier and the people of Sarawak. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may the Premier and his family find strength in this difficult time,' he said.
He said several party leaders who attended the State Gawai Dinner at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching on Sunday night saw the premier leave the event abruptly due to what appeared to be an urgent matter.
'Only later did we learn of her passing — it was truly a heartbreaking moment for all of us,' he said.
Juma'ani, 76, passed away at a private medical centre in Kuching at 3.34am today.
She was the daughter of Sarawak's second Yang Dipertua Negeri, Tun Tuanku Bujang Tuanku Othman.
