PETALING JAYA: PKR’s Wanita deputy head Tan Poh Lai has accused the Barisan Nasional-led government of misusing their powers and silencing the voices of the opposition when they denied Wanita Keadilan chief and MP for Ampang, Zuraidah Kamaruddin entry into Sarawak.

In a statement, Tan said, “I urge BN to fight fairly and not misuse or abuse their powers to silence the opposition.

“The people have a right to hear from both sides and make informed decisions themselves.”

Saying this was not the first time Zuraida was denied entry without any explanation, Tan added, “As the Sarawak election approaches, I feel that the BN administration is simply too afraid to allow opposition leaders to meet the people there. There is just too much to cover up.”

Condemning the actions of the Sarawak immigration, Tan also asked when the ban will be lifted including why the ban was instituted in the first place for Zuraida and others from Pakatan Rakyat when they had none nothing wrong.
