Kota Kinabalu: Parti Sedar Rakyat Head Richard Jimmy has lodged a report and called for a ban on Umno Youth Chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh’s entry and that of several other individuals into both Sabah and Sarawak.

Jimmy, who is a Kadazan Dusun Murut Rungus (KDMR) Community leader, expressed his concern about the situation.
“I strongly urge Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to ban the entry of Muhamad Akmal and four others into Sabah and Sarawak,” he said in the report.
Jimmy’s call for action comes in the wake of a statement by Hajiji, who said that the State Government has fully handed over the matter to the police for action against Muhamad Akmal.
“The proposed immigration blacklist must include individuals who have incited protests and boycotts driven by extremist and fanatic attitudes towards religion and race, causing unease, affecting harmony, risking social unity, and concerning the lives of the people of Sabah and Sarawak,” he said in the report.

“We, the people of Sabah and Sarawak, have full autonomous power to control our own immigration affairs and freedom of religion, as stipulated in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement,” he said invoking the MA63.
