KUALA LUMPUR: Joshua Wong does not understand why he was barred from entering Malaysia as he is fighting for rights within China and not anywhere else.

"I don't understand why Malaysia refused me as I'm fighting for universal suffrage within China, not in Malaysia," said the Hong Kong student activist who was the face of 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.
