In a statement she issued today on Sarawak barring all DAP leaders from Peninsula Malaysia from entering the state, Kok said, “It’s so plain and clear that the blanket ban was only to serve one purpose i.e. to stop DAP leaders from campaigning in Sarawak.”

“Tourism and Culture Minister Mohammed Nazri Abdul Aziz should tell Adenan that, unless he lifts the unfair, undemocratic ban, he will go down in history as worse than Sarawak Governor Abdul Taib Mahmud – when the latter was Chief Minister – in abusing the state’s immigration powers.”

Kok called on Nazri to advise Adenan to fight the Opposition fair and square if the CM was confident of his popularity and influence in the state.

The MP was commenting on Nazri declaring his support of Adenan’s decision on banning DAP leaders and members from entering Sarawak and said, “It’s not surprising that Nazri or any other BN Minister or leader will express support for Adenan, a fellow BN leader.”

However, she added, Nazri’s reason for supporting Adenan’s blanket ban on DAP leaders was totally wrong and unacceptable. “He said that DAP is chauvinistic and racist and will play up racial issues that will threaten racial harmony.”

“This must be the worst excuse for supporting a decision that’s a clear abuse of the state’s immigration powers.”

DAP could not be chauvinistic when it has relentlessly and aggressively pursued the 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad) scandal, she argued. “DAP was not being racist when it brought in electricity and water for the Orang Asal in Sabah and Sarawak.”

“DAP was not being racist when it rebuilt houses for flood victims, all Malays, in Kelantan.”

She challenged Nazri to publish examples and evidence of how DAP was chauvinistic and racist as alleged.
