Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem must explain why Sarawakian MPs and senators were allowed to support the passing of the National Security Council Bill 2015 (NSC Bill).

This is according to DAP's Padungan assemblyperson Wong King Wei, who argued that the NSC Bill would impinge on the rights of Sarawakians.

"Adenan has to answer why he allowed those MPs and senators from Sarawak to support the passing of such an evil legislation to suppress the voice of Sarawakians," Wong said in a press statement today.

He said that the bill would take the country towards dictatorship and destroy its democracy.

It is a tool that can be used by the government to destroy the people's voice, he argued.

"Yet the Sarawakian MPs and senators supported the passing of the bill in both the Dewan Rakyat and the Dewan Negara.

"It shows that the Sarawak BN does not wish to see more autonomy for Sarawakians," he said.

In a separate statement today, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang asked Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Paul Low if he would ask the prime minister to withhold the NSC Bill until it has been amended.

This comes in response to Low's statement yesterday that he would not be needed in the cabinet if the government was "god-fearing".

Low, who is the minister in charge of governance and integrity, should get the prime minister to agree to further study and amend the bill as it violates two Rukun Negara principles, Lim said.

"Why is there an unholy haste to make the NSC Bill into law, as if any further delay will have apocalyptic consequences to the nation – when the government can wait for some three years after the Lahad Datu attacks before presenting such a bill to Parliament?" he asked.
