Deporting Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar was a big mistake, and Sabah authorities must explain. |
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah PKR secretary Dr Roland Chia Ming Shen has questioned the rationale behind the Immigration Department’s decision to bar PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar from entering Sabah yesterday.
“What has she done wrong to receive such a treatment? Is she a threat to the security of Sabah?
“The state Immigration Department certainly owes the people of Malaysia and Sabah in particular, an explanation on this. Failing which, they should immediately apologise to her,” he said.
Nurul was barred from entering Sabah at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) on Thursday evening and deported to Kuala Lumpur soon after.
Chia, who is also Inanam assemblyman, contended that he did not see any good reason to bar the Lembah Pantai MP from entering Sabah, as she was visiting on the invitation of Penampang MP Darell Leiking, in conjunction with the Harvest Festival.
