Nurul Izzah, who is PKR vice president and election director, arrived at Kuching International Airport on AK5210 at around 4pm, but was told by immigration officers that she had been barred from entering the state.
She will be on board the next available flight to KL around 7pm, said Seri Andalas assemblyman Dr A. Xavier Jayakumar who was accompanying Nurul Izzah on the flight.
A. Xavier also said he will be delivering a name list of potential candidates for the state election tonight on behalf of Nurul Izzah at a hotel here.
He said no reason was given for barring Nurul Izzah but it was a clear indication that the state government feared facing the people.
She was supposed to announce PKR’s potential candidates for the coming state election at a hotel here this evening.
However, it is believed that the ban had to do with Nurul Izzah and Batu MP Tian Chua’s meeting with Jacel Kiram, the daughter of self-proclaimed Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram.
Late last month, the Sabah State Assembly passed a motion to ban Nurul Izzah and Tian Chua from entering Sabah.
Sarawak has autonomy over its immigration regulations and has barred opposition leaders such as Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua, Tian Chua, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin, Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli, PKR election director Datuk Saifuddin Nasution and Subang MP R Sivarasa from entering the state.
