DAP is demanding an explanation from the Immigration Department on why Petaling Jaya Utara MP, Tony Pua was barred from leaving the country on Wednesday.

Puchong MP, Gobind Singh who is also DAP's Legal Bureau Chairman said the party is giving one week to the Immigration Department director to explain the matter.

“We will give them a week to respond. We will also write officially to the government to seek an explanation,” said Gobind during a press conference held here today.

Pua was stopped by Immigration officials from leaving on a flight to Jogjakarta, Indonesia, at the KLIA2 low-cost carrier terminal yesterday.
