KOTA KINABALU: Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua has been denied entry into Sabah. He was barred from entering the state and told to take the next flight back to Kuala Lumpur after landing at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport at about 12.45pm on Friday. Sabah DAP chairman Stephen Wong, who was with Pua until his return flight at 2pm, said the bar was uncalled for, adding that the Pua was an elected representative and had a democratic right to visit. He, however, said Sabah DAP respected the state's immigration rights, which were guaranteed in the Federal Constitution and Malaysia Agreement 1963. He was scheduled to return to Kuala Lumpur on May 1.
