KUCHING, Nov 7 2026: State PKR Kuching division chairman Dominique Ng Kim Ho has told Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) president Voon Lee Shan not to fear Malayan politicians from entering Sarawak to garner support for their respective parties in state election.
"Why fear them so much? Are they subversive undesirable elements?" Ng asked when reacting to Voon's statement earlier today.
He said he could remember correctly some time back, some Malayan politicians were denied entry but then some ended up as federal ministers.
"So, how?" he asked with a smiling emoji.
"And don't forget that in the recent 2027 budget, the Madani government gave RM16.2 billions to Sarawak, more than Sarawak's own 2027 budget.
"Maybe it is better for Voon and PBK to find out how the funds from the federal govt was spent by the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government.
"Why fear or hate Malayan politicians so much? Some of them are more vocal and daring in raising issues of corruption and abuse of power and against racial and religious extremists when compared to our Sarawak MPs," he said.
Ng said calling on the state government to ban the entry of Malayan politicians is a politics of hatred and intolerance, which has no place in society.
Early today, Voon has called upon the Sarawak government to consider using the state's immigration autonomy to restrict or ban the involvement of politicians, ministers, members of parliament (MPs) and state legislative members (SLMs) from Malaya to come and campaign for their political parties during Sarawak state election.
"Sarawak election is for Sarawakians to choose the government that will govern Sarawak. The issues are locals, such as land, cost of living, jobs, water, electricity, roads, internet, education, healthcare and the protection of Sarawak’s rights and resources," he said when supporting PBB information chief Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah's suggestion that political leaders from Malaya need not to come to Sarawak to support Malayan-based parties in the Sarawak election.
Voon said PBK's call is related to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) and the Malaysia Plan that do not expressly provide that political parties from Malaya to be entitled to enter Sabah and Sarawak to contest state elections or campaign here.
Voon said Sarawak’s election must remain in the hands of Sarawakians.
