		Some in the many kopitiams in Kuching say that it could very well be when Taib, who is still recovering from treatment for colon cancer in Singapore last month, is well enough to undertake the punishing pace of going on the stump in the biggest state in the country and making his trademark long speeches.
		Taib had mentioned several names, including Adenan (64) and Abang Johari (56), as possible successors but it is apparent that the housing minister is now out.
		The history of the rise of the PBB into a dominant party in Sarawak is almost synonymous with the rise of Taib and his ascendancy in state politics.

		Critics claim that Taib is unsure of the support in Asajaya because of the growing challenge from Abu Bakar's faction.

		Let me assure Taib Mahmud that when I telephoned his office in Kuching on Sept. 23 after I had received calls from very angry Sarawakians that the Chief Minister had left the state when Sarawakians were faced with their worst environmental disaster in history, I did not have the Kidurong by-election in mind at all.
		Let me also assure Taib Mahmud that I would advise Sarawak DAP not to raise the issue of his mysterious trip overseas during the haze emergency if he could give full and satisfactory explanation of his sudden and unexplained absence in the state at the height of the haze disaster.
