LAHAD DATU, March 8- A Sabah state assemblyman today urged the state government to ban Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president Tian Chua from entering the state after he alleged the Philippines militant intrusion was a drama staged by Umno.
Lahad Datu state assemblyman Datuk Nasrun Datu Mansur said Tian Chua’s(Pic) statement was defamatory and showed the opposition leader did not value human lives.
“We don’t want him to bring unnatural culture to the state and hope he will not be allowed to set foot in Sabah ever,” he told reporters after lodging a report against Tian Chua at the Lahad Datu Police Station here today.
Nasrun, who is also Silam Umno division chief, said people of various sub-ethnicities in the country, especially in Sabah, should reject individuals who bring in foreign and rude culture. Regarding Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s announcement to make five districts in the east coast of Sabah as special security areas, Nasrun said the news was much awaited by Lahad Datu residents.
“This is what we’ve been waiting to hear. Tight security is needed here because a large coastal area is involved,” he said.
Yesterday, Najib announced Lahad Datu, Tawau, Semporna, Sandakan and Kudat, as special security areas with Lahad Datu acting as the control centre.
