Amanah president Mohamad Sabu was barred from entering Sarawak because he poses a threat to harmony in the state, said Works Minister Fadillah Yusof.

"His statements can touch on the sensitivity of Sarawakians and threaten harmony in the state," Fadillah, who is also Petra Jaya MP, told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.

He also denied there was any political reason behind the ban.
