The late Adenan
Satem, who took over as chief minister in February 2014 and led the state BN to victory in the 2016 election, was Taib Mahmud's brother-in-law.
(83) In May 2015, the Chief Minister of Sarawak, Tan Sri Adenan
Satem, held a closed-door meeting with representatives of the Baram Orang Ulu indigenous groups and thereafter declared that community leaders would support the state government in this Baram Dam project.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the rise of politic ethnonationalism in the state of Sarawak by Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan
Satem, the new Chief Minister of Sarawak after the era of Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud.
He added his late predecessor, Pehin Sri Adenan
Satem, had started the process of reclaiming the state's rights and revenues which had been granted or assigned to Sarawak when Sarawak agreed to the formation of Malaysia.
It added that
Satem and Moussa tried to secure Ghazi's entry into Syria to fight alongside terrorist organizations there.
His funeral was held on 10 January at Jamek Mosque in Kuching attended by two thousand mourners, including Tun Abdul Taib himself, Tan Sri Adenan
Satem (Chief Minister) and Tan Sri Alfred Jabu (Deputy CM).
He also accused PSB winning candidates contesting in the 2016 state election with failing to keep to their pledge and promise made to former chief minister the late Pehin Seri Adenan
Satem.
In response to the accusation that
Satem had asked him to carry out a suicide mission for the group in Lebanon, Asaad told the court: "I do not accept any idea of this sort, I have a family and three children."
