Kuala Sepetang assemblyperson Chua Yee Ling has been evicted from Sarawak.
Chua was in Miri for a PKR dinner tonight, when Immigration and police officers gatecrashed the event held at the Eastwood Valley Golf & Country Club.
Footage streamed from the Perak representative's Facebook page showed her being escorted out of the venue accompanied by the officers.
Chua was calm throughout the eviction, saying she would co-operate.
"You are just doing your job, but I wonder why," she is heard telling the Immigration officer.
She then got into a black SUV which drove off. Chua told Malaysiakini at about 9.30pm that she was boarding her flight back to the peninsula.
Earlier today, PKR lawmakers Zuraida Kamaruddin and Hee Loy Sien were barred from entering Sarawak after arriving at the Miri airport.
They were also slated to attend the dinner.
PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar subsequently cancelled her flight to Miri, appearing at the party dinner through a video instead.
This comes as Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad visits the state tomorrow for the first time as an opposition leader.
The long-time Umno president will be speaking as Pakatan Harapan chairperson in Kuching, at a ceramah on the coalition’s manifesto for the state for the 14th general election.
Also scheduled to attend are DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, Amanah elections director Hatta Ramli, and state Harapan leaders Chong Chieng Jen, Baru Bian and Mohd Fidzuan Zaidi.
Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg has given his assurance that Mahathir, Lim and Hatta will be allowed to enter the state.- Mkini
