Barred DAP leaders to enter Sarawak via video conferencing

PETALING JAYA: DAP leaders who were barred from entering Sarawak will touch base with voters, and campaign in the Sarawak election, via video conferences, China Press reports.

“We will also think of other ways to assist the campaign in Sarawak,” Acting DAP Chairman Tan Kok Wai was quoted by the Chinese daily as saying.

Tan added that despite many of their members being barred from entering the state, activities planned by the party would be carried out as there were some leaders who were allowed to enter Sarawak.

It had been previously reported that DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang and his son, party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, had been allowed in.

On a related matter, DAP national organising secretary Anthony Loke said those who had been barred from entering Sarawak were lawmakers.

He did not discount the possibility that both Kit Siang and Guan Eng could be barred in future, but said they had figured out a plan should that happen.

Meanwhile, The Star reported that DAP deputy secretary-general Ngeh Koo Ham became the latest politician to be barred from entering Sarawak.

Ngeh, the English daily reported, was given a “refusal of entry notice” when he arrived at the Kuching International Airport this morning.

Other DAP leaders who have been barred from entering Sarawak include Kulai lawmaker Teo Nie Ching, DAP’s “Ubah” mascot designer Ooi Leng Hang, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok and Loke.
