Sarawak sends Selangor MB back, PKR says 'black' day


S'WAK POLLS Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali flew to Kuching today – and was immediately sent on the flight back to Kuala Lumpur after Sarawak immigration authorities barred him from entering the state.
"The immigration officers decided to send me back on instructions of the state authority," Azmin told reporters in Kuala Lumpur, with reporters at Kuching airport hearing his statement via the handphone speaker of PKR vice-president Dr Xavier Jayakumar.
"I have received a notice of refusal from the Sarawak Immigration Department. I've been made to board the next flight to Kuala Lumpur immediately.
“This is a blatant disregard of the Immigration Act, where the spirit of the law is very clear. The authorities should not ban any political leader from entering Sarawak, especially during this election period," Azmin said.
He also urged Sarawakians to support PKR candidates to "send a strong message to the state authority, so this can be stopped".
Some 100 PKR supporters had turned up at the Kuching International Airport to welcome Azmin back.
Xavier said it was a "sad" and "black" day for Malaysia.
"This is a sad day. The chief minister (Adenan Satem) has abused his position by barring politicians. To do this to a chief of a state in Malaysia speaks volumes on the state of affairs in BN. We feel a great wrong has been done."
"We hope that this matter would be brought up in the next sitting of Parliament by our elected parliamentarians to set things right.
“This is legally and morally wrong, especially during an election period. Today is a black day for Malaysia," said Xavier (photo).
The PKR candidate for Batu Lintang, See Chee How, said state PKR supported the immigration autonomy of Sarawak.

"However, this is a clear abuse (of power). There are clear provisions on what the exemptions are. This is a menteri besar coming in for legitimate political activity. There is no way the menteri besar is doing anything wrong. We are definitely disappointed," See said
Azmin had previously entered Sarawak on April 29, and left on May 1, a day before his visa expired.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's stay in Sarawak was restricted to seven days and he was made to leave yesterday. -Mkini
