Peninsula-based parties should leave Sarawak
If Umno as a Peninsula-based party is not allowed in Sarawak, why did they accept DAP, PKR, PAS and Amanah?

Still in Sarawak for the 11th state election.
Since arriving on April 11, I think my team had done almost 3,000km traveling from Kuching to Miri and back to the capital, not including a few boat and ferry rides to its hinterland, which includes Kapit.
And the story about PKR-DAP ‘confrontation’ over seats allocation didn’t get much into me except for the fact that the opposition parties are still at their old tricks to woo voters.
Chief Minister Adenan Satem and his autonomous immigration policy did make headlines for barring some Umno and opposition leaders while restricting days of visit for few. Among them are Umno’s Jamal ‘Sekinchan’ and lecturer Reduan Tee Abdullah, Hannah Yeoh, Nurul Izzah and Lee Khai Loon from the opposition and controversial blogger Papagomo.
Azmin Ali was asked to leave on May 2 while Lim Guan Eng on May 5.
Adenan to blame? Maybe those on the list should be aware of the reasons behind the ban and restriction. Sarawak is not a place for their whim and fancy doings like the Peninsula.
‘Tok Nan’ too had, on a few occasions raised the issues of his state being different from the Peninsula, about the united Sarawakians and no ‘outside’ interference to its socio-politics and diverse culture, and that hate politic is not at all welcome to the state.
He had also reassured Sarawakians that Umno will not set foot in the state although the Malays and bumiputras make about 63 per cent of the population.
