KUCHING, April 20: The dinner event held in conjunction with the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) Convention 2026 last night turned lively and light-hearted when Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg stole the spotlight with an impromptu ride on an electric scooter.

According to a report by Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS), despite spending the entire day attending and following the convention proceedings, Abang Johari, who is also GPS chairman, still took time to interact with guests, reflecting his warm personality and close rapport with the public.

He was seen riding the electric scooter around the VIP seating area, drawing smiles and laughter from fellow dignitaries and guests who were delighted by the spontaneous moment.

Earlier in the evening, Abang Johari had shown interest in the scooter used by convention staff, which also happened to be the grand prize for the night’s lucky draw.

Curious to take a closer look, he eventually stood up from his seat before deciding to try the scooter himself, adding a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere to the dinner event.
