SIMUNJAN, Jan 2, 2014: Chief Minister Adenan Satem must
be praised and supported for daring to take the steps to bar religious and
political extremists from Malaya from entering Sarawak, Minister in the Prime
Minister's Department Nancy Shukri stressed here yesterday.
"We can't have these kind of people around as they
can cause religious and political problems to the people in Sarawak," she
said at a Christmas Day's gathering at St Stephen's Chapel here.

Nancy, who is also Batong Sadong Member of Parliament,
said Adenan had repeated it many times in the past that he would not allow
religious bigots from Malaya to enter and preach in Sarawak.
"He is very firm on preventing individuals, deemed
as religious bigots and political extremists, from stepping foot in the
state," she said.
Nancy stressed that every religion always reminded their
followers to champion for goodwill and unity, hence the people must play their
role to maintain the spirit of love for one another, regardless of their
religious and multi-racial backgrounds.
"Goodwill and unity among the people, therefore,
must be strengthened and whatever differences we have would not turn ugly as
they do not bring any benefit to anyone," she said.
Nancy thanked St Stephen's Chapel for inviting her to
attend its Christmas Day's gathering, saying that it enabled everybody to
celebrate the festive occasion.
"I feel happy to observe the happiness among the
people and this is proof that the spirit of love clearly exists among us.
