Wan Azizah expected in Sarawak tonight

Party lists her on schedule of events after Adenan said he would consider allowing entry for her and Nurul Izzah

PETALING JAYA: PKR President Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is believed to have been allowed entry into Sarawak and is expected to arrive at the Sibu airport around 8.35pm tonight.

This was based on a schedule circulated by PKR to reporters in Kuching.

Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem, under criticism for barring activists and opposition members from entering Sarawak, had said earlier that he would consider allowing Wan Azizah and her daughter, PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah, if they asked him politely.

In response, Wan Azizah told reporters that both she and Nurul Izzah would write to Adenan to request for permission.

Opposition leaders who have been barred from Sarawak include DAP’s Tony Pua and Teresa Kok, as well as PKR’s Chua Tian Chang and Rafizi Ramli.
