Padang Serai MP N. Gobalakrishnan is challenging the Sarawak Immigration Department on barring him entry into the state in December last year. He named the Immigration Director of Sarawak as the first respondent, Sarawak State Secretary and the Sarawak State Government as the second and third respondents respectively.
Gobalakrishnan was served with a notice of refusal entry upon his arrival at the Kuching International Airport on Christmas eve last year. He was understood to have planned to spend Christmas with his adopted Iban parents in Kapit. The MP took the next available flight out after his entry was denied. Reasons given to him was that he was not a Sarawakian and therefore needed a permit to enter the state.
Gobalakrishnan was in the state for holidays and not for official duties neither was he a criminal nor a terrorist so what permit does this Malaysian needs other than his valid passport like other non Sarawakian Malaysians. Inline with the Constitution of Malaysia, Sarawak was granted independent rule and law over its immigration but this refusal of entry is just a blatant abuse of power and should be punished accordingly.
To all politicians and ministers.....
