“If I could recall, it is the first time that a husband and wife have been called for investigation concerning election matters in Sarawak.
“This is a dangerous precedence. Our party members are not intimidated and threatened by the authorities who are out to destroy our dreams for Sarawak independence.
“People across the border are watching PBK’s quest for independence very closely,” he claimed.
