HUNGRY.....How
dare Nurul spread the news that she 'STARVING' during the process of
evacuating? The Opposition and Opposition friendly NGOs such as the Bar Council
is making hue and cry on the Sabah State Government to impose their powers to
ban persons ‘Deemed Criminals’ such as PKR Vice President Nurul Izzah Anwar
from entering the state.

KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia’s
three professional bodies for lawyers condemned today the Sabah government for
ejecting PKR’s Nurul Izzah Anwar from holidaying in the north Borneo state,
saying the move violated her constitutional right to freedom of movement.
The authorities’ action
denying the 32-year-old lawmaker entry into the state and flying her back to
the peninsula immediately upon her arrival yesterday evening has provoked
widespread uproar, with the Sabah Law Association, the Advocates’ Association
of Sarawak and the Malaysian Bar telling the government to “cease and desist”
its arbitrary blasting of Malaysians without good reason.
“By deploying this drastic measure, the Sabah
state government is flouting the guarantee of freedom of movement that is
enshrined in Article 9 of the Federal Constitution, which provides that ‘every
citizen has the right to move freely throughout the Federation’.
“The three Bars of Malaysia call on the Sabah
state government to immediately rescind the entry ban that it has imposed, and
to cease and desist from resorting to such action without any justifiable
cause,” the three groups said in a joint statement.
They reminded the state
government that while it had a statutory right to decide who enters Sabah, it
should be sparing in flexing its muscle and ban only with justifiable cause.
They also called on
Putrajaya to take concrete measures to safeguard the right of Malaysians to
travel within the country’s borders unimpeded.
Nurul Izzah has vowed to
take her entry ban into Sabah to court, slamming the government’s move as
undemocratic and an abuse of the state’s laws.
She had intended to attend a
party event as well as celebrate the native Pesta Kaamatan, or the Harvest
Festival, there in her personal capacity.
Sabah’s consitution empowers
its chief minister to restrict anyone from entering the state, but adds that he
must do justify a reason.
“As a member of the
Malaysian Parliament, the move to bar my entry is irrational and without
reasonable justification is clearly an extreme abuse of power and very
anti-democratic,” she told a press conference in PKR’s headquarters in Petaling
Jaya this afternoon.
“If I am a threat to the people of Sabah, then
give me the rationale and explanation to this accusation,” she added.
The second-term Lembah
Pantai MP also claimed that a number of opposition leaders, including her
father Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who is the PKR advisor, and activists have also
been named in a blacklist she claimed to originate from Sabah Chief Minister
Datuk Seri Musa Aman’s office.
Nurul Izzah said the state
authorities had rejected her demand to see the full list and gave no
explanation as to why she had been denied entry.
***************
It has been evidently
Opposition leaders such as Nurul Izzah, Lim Kit Siang, Tian Chua, Anwar Ibrahim
and the whole lot of them should be ‘Deemed Criminals’ because of their
propensity to break laws such as conditions ruled as per the Public Assembly
Act. This is on top of their tendency to incite and instigate in acts deemed
sedition in nature every few days at rallies they organise since over three
weeks ago.
They selectively refused to
accept the decision of the majority, based on the Westminster styled
first-past-the-post-electoral system, where the privilege to form a government
is based on the number of seats parties which contested in any of the
elections.
The Sabah majority have
their constitutional rights to be prevented from exposure of such unhealthy and
unlawful acts of crime.
WE STOPPED NURUL FOR PEACE
By : RUBEN SARIO
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah
government banned PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar from entering the state
on Thursday as her presence could affect the peace and security in the state.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri
Musa Aman(pix) said in a statement issued late Saturday that the government has
had no problems with opposition figures entering the state as evident in the
run-up to the recent general election.
He said Sabah also welcomed
those who “respect a civil society, whereby there is law and order to uphold
the prevailing peace and harmony.”
“However if we have reason to believe that
your presence here will pose a threat to these ideals that Sabah has enjoyed
all these while, you are not welcomed here,” the statement said.
“We have reason to believe
that Nurul Izzah’s intentions to come to Sabah this time round may not be as
innocent as she or her fellow opposition members make it out to be,” Musa said.
Nurul Izzah was barred from
entering Sabah upon her arrival at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport on
Thursday.
PKR deputy secretary general
Darrel Leiking who had been waiting for Nurul Izzah at the airport had said her
one day trip was to among others attend the state level Kaamatan or Harvest
Festival at the Hongkod Koisaan.
Musa said Sabah’s doors were
always open to those who wanted to see and embrace its ethnic and cultural
diversities as well as participate in the state’s festivities.
He said contrary to what was
being spread in the social media, the ban on Nurul Izzah was not
politically-motivated.
“Other opposition leaders have come and moved
freely throughout Sabah especially in the run-up to the elections. They spread
the same old recipe of lies, deceit and slander to hoodwink the people. We
didn’t stop them,” he said.
“Now that the elections are over, their leader
refuses to accept the verdict. It is a case of sour grapes and ungentlemanly
conduct. He wants to rile up the masses to rally throughout the country to show
his discontent,” he said.
Musa said Sabah and its
people do not need the endless propaganda by the opposition to incite hatred
and mistrust among the people against the Barisan Nasional government.
“Enough is enough. We need to move on. The
opposition has been politicking for the last 5 years. Are we going to be bogged
down by more politicking in the next five?
“There’s work to be done. The country needs to
be administrated, the economy needs to grow and the people’s welfare taken care
of,” he said. (The STAR)
*******************
Bar Council behaved very
unprofessionally to ‘conveniently’ miss or omit this provision of the
Immigration Act for the Sabah State Government’s right to refuse entry or
banish any persons from the ‘Land Below the wind’ state.
Unless they have ulterior
motives. That tantamount of the professional body to be an accomplish to these
persons ‘Deemed Criminals’ in the acts of crime and ill intent, to stabilise
the country and topple the Federal Government via anarchy.
Then, Bar Council should be
investigated too.
