“The exhibition will feature some 100 photos of His Excellency Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, arranged in chronological order starting from the 1960s when he was still an assemblyman,” said Pustaka Miri public relations officer Suria Sonia Ahip Abdullah in a statement yesterday.
According to her, Taib is expected to declare open the ‘Dirgahayu Tuan Yang Terutama’ (Long Live His Excellency) this Oct 13.
