(May 27): Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today has warned foreigners entering the country to avoid inciting Malaysians into holding or taking part in street demonstrations, adding that such characters were not welcome.

He said this when asked about the reason why Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was detained by the Immigration Department officers and later deported after landing at the Penang International Airport yesterday.

"We don't want these kind of people to come into our country and disturb the public order... these people don't have to come." he said.

"And here, I am warning those from other countries to no try to incite or instigate any sense of worry among the citizens into holding protests or demonstrations"

"I think it is better for us to chase them out of our country," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur today.

"We will not accept undesirable people to come to the country." he added.

Earlier, Khalid was quoted by foreign wire AFP as saying that Wong was barred from entering Malaysia because of fears he would threaten ties with China.

Wong was the teenager face involved in the "Umbrella Movement", which brought parts of Hong Kong to a standstill for more than two months late last year with mass rallies calling for fully free leadership elections.

Khalid reportedly said the purpose of Wong's visit was to explain how he had organised demonstrations in Hong Kong.

"We were afraid that what he was going to speak about would harm our security," he told AFP.

"He was also going to speak about China. We know his anti-Chinese speeches. We do not want him to jeopardise our ties with China," Khalid said, adding that police had asked the immigration department to stop Wong entering the country.

"We do not need him in Malaysia as Wong is an undesirable element," he reportedly said.   

Wong was said to be planning to give talks on democracy in China, from the massacre of pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989 to Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement, according to the Scholarism student protest group he founded. – The Malaysian Insider
