Timeline

1905

Tun Dato’ Abang Haji Openg bin Abang Sapiee (ابڠ حاج اوڤيڠ بن ابڠ شافعي; 7 October 1905 – 28 March 1969) was a Malaysian politician who served as the first Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak from September 1963 to his death in March 1969.

Abang Openg was born on 7 October 1905 during the White Rajahs of Brooke dynasty's rule.

Abang Openg's first great-grandfather was Datu Patinggi Haji Abdul Gapor, the former governor of Sarawak preceding James Brooke's era.

Through Datu Patinggi Haji Abdul Gapor, Abang Openg was connected to Menteri Hussin, the grandson of Raja Minangkabau, and thereby linked to several notable Sultans of Brunei: Muhammad Tajuddin, Hashim, Mohamad Jumalul Alam and Omar Ali Saifuddien III.

Moreover, Abang Openg was the third-generation descendant of Datu Patinggi Ali and a direct descendant of Raja Jarum.

Abang Openg had his early education in Kuching before moving to Sarikei with his father.

He attended St. Anthony School in Sarikei before returning to Kuching to continue his education at St. Thomas School.

1924

As a 19-year-old man of the descendants of the elite with title Abang, Abang Openg chose to enter the Brooke administration as a clerk in 1924.

He was elevated to senior officer of native affairs in Sarikei after serving for eight years.

1937

He was appointed third-class magistrate in 1937.

White Rajah Charles Vyner Brooke gave Abang Openg a special appointment, and he was afterwards appointed to a member of the state council.

1941

He was elevated to second-class magistrate and Kuching Division native affairs first officer in early 1941, just before World War II.

1945

Abang Openg held the principle of choosing to be loyal to the Brooke rule until the Japanese surrender in September 1945.

When Vyner decided to cede Sarawak to Britain, Abang Openg and several other Brooke officials opposed the decision.

Several places were named after Abang Openg, including:

1963

He assumed the newly established post following Sarawak's independence from Great Britain and the formation of Malaysia in 1963.
