KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee was briefly refused entry into the High Court here when he turned up to attend a case on the constitutional position of Sabah's 13 new state seats.

The Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president, who is among seven people from local opposition coalition Gabungan Sabah who filed a suit on April 2 to compel the Prime Minister to table the new seats in Parliament, was stopped by court security for about half an hour before being allowed in at 9.55am on Friday.
