1MDB critic Tony Pua barred from leaving country
(The Malaysian Insider) – DAP’s Tony Pua, who has been vociferous in his criticism of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), has been barred by immigration authorities from leaving the country.
The Petaling Jaya Utara MP said he was to fly to Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for work purposes when he was stopped by the immigration at low-cost carrier terminal klia2 at 3.15pm.
“They stopped me and told me I can’t go aboard. They said the instructions came ‘from above’. No reasons were given why I was prevented from leaving,” he told The Malaysian Insider when contacted.
Pua is on the way to the DAP headquarters to give a press conference on the matter.
