Sabah DAP Secretary Junz Wong told the portal that there was no reason to bar Hew as he was only there to attend a DAP dinner event in Sandakan."But this is the state's decision so there is nothing we can do." Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.

Hew's barring comes after a call by the state's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) last week to stop Hew from entering to give a talk on Malaysia Day.The party's youth chief Tsang Hieng Yee also asked the people of Sandakan to boycott the talk as Hew was "notorious for using vulgar words in his speeches and prone to inciting hatred in his speeches."
