The Sarawak government must uphold the Malaysia Agreement allowing citizens to enter the state for political activities, if the state hopes for its rights to be similarly upheld under the same agreement.

"It is very clearly set out that legitimate political activity is permissible, that there should not be any banning of any Malaysians from West Malaysia who come for legitimate political activities," said DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang.

"To continue to ban Pakatan Harapan leaders would be a violation of Malaysia Agreement 1963, and the Sarawak government must set an example (so as) to get full respect and the restoration of the rights in the agreement."
