Around
6 PM on April 21st, MP from Pandan, Rafizi Ramli was denied entry into
Sarawak. This is the second time that Rafizi was denied entry to the
state by the Chief Minister of Sarawak, Adenan Satem. During the
Balingian by-election last month, Rafizi and several PKR leaders were
denied entry into Sarawak.
PKR Sarawak chairman, Baru Bian said the inclusion of PKR leaders in the list of people banned from entering Sarawak as a ‘very interesting issue.’
PKR would proceed with legal action to challenge the bans, whether or not this ban is against the Federal Constitution of Malaysia.
Anwar, however, was allowed in. So far, Adenan Satem has not had the courage to go the whole way and ban the PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim as well, evidently because of the world attention this would undoubtedly receive!
Folks who are BN supporters, before you applaud Adenan Satem for this move, please, think carefully of the ramifications. If the Chief Minister can arbitrarily banning political adversaries which is a direct conflict with the freedom of movement guaranteed by the constitution, who is to say that he would stop there? Many of us Sarawakians are related to folks from West Malaysia and other countries from all over the world through marriages. What guarantee that he would not do the same to you and your relatives?
What good reasons why Adenan Satem banned PKR leaders from Sarawak? Is he feeling threatened? Or is he simply flexing his muscle to show that he is the man with power in Sarawak?
Folks who were banned by Adenan Satem were members of Parliament, elected by the citizens of Malaysia. Those folks are not criminals. They did not come as hooligans to destroy Sarawak. They are not thieves nor do they ever committed any crimes. Adenan Satem has no reason why he denied entry to folks like MP Rafizi Ramli.
Many people criticized Adenan Satem for wasting and using Sarawak's autonomy on immigration and abuse of power to keep opposition political leaders out of the state.
If he genuinely wants to keep bad people out of Sarawak, he could easily have used the Interpol database. As it turned out, the Government of Malaysia never made use of the Interpol database to weed out real criminals. This was obvious during the MH370 crisis when two Iranians were found to travel in Malaysia using stolen passports, right under the Immigration Department's nose!
If Rafizi sued the State Government and won, it would be a pity indeed if the Federal Court were to find the action unconstitutional and revoke the State's autonomy right. And Sarawakians would have lost a pillar of their autonomy on Immigration, thanks to Adenan for screwing it up!

Adenan Satem has the right to ban anyone entering Sarawak if he felt that these people are trying to influence people mind to protest against the government. These west malaysian are trying to influence the people of sarawak with their malayan ideology.
We sarawakian do not need Malayan based party to rule us. We don not need PKR, DAP, PAS, MCA, UMNO to rule us. We have opposition parties of our own such as SNAP, SWP, STAR, PBDS Baru and many more. These sarawak opposition of us should unite together to form their own Sarawak Pakatan Rakyat.
We also do not need Malayan extremists NGO of ISMA and PERKASA to teach us here. We have enough of our own NGO to fight for the right of our own people.
I am not BN supporter nor I am PKR supporter. I have my right to vote whom I want to vote because we are democratic nation.
I am sure that our Chief Minister would not banned someone anyhow simply abuse his position banning anyone if they are no threat to the people of sarawak. Adenan have the right to ban them as accordance to our 18 points sarawak immigration act.
PKR have the right to challenge Sarawak government on the matter.

"Short of jumping for joy, [the VERIUNI laundry soap] is the most exciting product for the laundry that I have found. I buy [the laundry soap] in a Gallon at $21.95. I put a pump in the gallon (best value) and two squirts into the laundry. My whites have never been whiter and my cloths don't have the perfume smell that the store brands do. Two squirts in a full load equal less than 1/4 cup, less than two ounces. With one gallon equaling 128 ounces, that is 64 loads of laundry, or $0.34 a load. (If you add shipping, the cost is $0.50 cents per load.) That's almost half of what [many major store brands] require. Best yet, your cloths don't smell! Simply amazing. Check the link and try a bottle. You can buy by the quart, but with shipping and handling, a gallon is best. The entire product is returnable. But...you won't return it because you will love it. It's great! This is one of the best lines SFI carries."
