SAM president denied entry into Sarawak, group demands answers
Sahabat Alam Malaysia says Meenakshi Raman was given no prior notice or explanation for the restriction.
SAM president Meenakshi Raman was denied entry into Sarawak after her flight landed at Miri Airport today, according to environmental group reports. The incident occurred around 4.50pm, though Meenakshi had arrived on a 2.40pm flight. Immigration officers stopped her upon arrival and refused entry. Meenakshi's identity card was taken, and she was questioned about her involvement in a case, though she had not received any prior notice or explanation about the restriction on her entry.
The Sarawak government and immigration authorities are being urged to provide reasons for barring Meenakshi and to lift the restriction immediately. The incident has raised concerns over democratic accountability and the right to express opinions on environmental issues.
