The pain of the denial of my entry into Sarawak on Nov 14

| I, Wong Chin Huat, as a member of the Electoral Reform Committee leading its clusters on electoral system and constituency delimitation, landed at Kuching International Airport about 3.50pm on Nov 14, 2019 .

Despite the acute condition, the Immigration Department officers rejected the doctor’s suggestion for me to be hospitalised for treatment and observation. Through the compassionate intervention of Public Works Minister Baru Bian , a special pass for hospitalisation was finally issued to me, around 11pm. I was admitted at Kuching General Hospital at around 11.30pm. Thanks to the routine check-up and careful treatment by doctors and nurses at the Hospital, my medical emergency has since eased.

I support fully Sarawak and Sabah’s internal immigration power for the purpose of economic protectionism, until a better alternative is found, but such power must be exercised transparently, rationally and in good faith. The Sarawak government should have the audacity to explain to the public of Sarawak and Malaysia why I should be denied entry. Given that the ERC has sent two letters applying for my entry with details of the MMP and Delimitation Workshop, the Sarawak government surely has its good reasons why my participation in this workshop is harmful to the best interests of Sarawak people and government, if it has not acted arbitrarily or in bad faith.

Can persons denied entry be denied the right for immediate and adequate medical treatment when they experience blood pressure as high as 194/110?
