By Chong Chieng Jen,
Sarawak DAP Chairman
Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem’s full support for Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak cannot be any clearer than the banning of Petaling Jaya Utara Member of Parliament Tony
Pua from entering Sarawak, yesterday.
Though Adenan has openly said that he will ban the
racists and religious bigots from entering Sarawak, his act to ban Tony from
entering Sarawak does not reflect what he has pledged.

Tony has never uttered any words of racism or religious
fanaticism.
On what ground was Tony banned from entering
Sarawak? Even a rapist is entitled to
know what offence he is charged for, but that is not the case for Tony Pua when
he was escorted out of Sarawak.
Even 24 hrs after the deportation, Adenan is still
keeping mum on the reason for the deportation.
It doesn’t take much for one to guess that Tony’s ban is
because of his expose of the 1MDB scandal which is hitting Najib very badly,
and even threatens Najib’s premiership.
Tony is well-known for his effort in fighting corruption
in the country and in particular, the expose of the 1MDB scandal involving
Najib.
He is also the key person in our DAP’s Impian Sarawak
projects where he has helped raised millions of ringgit and arranged for
hundreds of volunteers (including specialists and teachers) to provide basic
water-supply projects, medical treatment and English learning opportunities to
the Sarawak rural folks.
If one were to insist on finding fault with Tony, one can
only come to the finding that his entry to Sarawak will help break the Barisan
Nasional’s political hegemony in Sarawak.
It is not good for Sarawak BN, but is good for the State as a whole.
Adenan’s action in banning Tony from entering Sarawak is
a loud and clear endorsement for Najib (especially on the 1MDB scandal), because
Tony was also banned by Najib’s administration from leaving Malaysia for the
same reason.
Such action also echoes Najib’s acts in penalising those
who investigate the 1MDB scandal by transferring them from their respective
positions to the Prime Minister’s Department or by terminating their services
without proper notice.
Since Adenan assumed the Chief Minister of Sarawak post,
he has said many right things and carried out some good policies. However, his 100% support for Najib is now
putting many people off. - Sept 24, 2015
