Young people are welcome to express opinions without going too far, says MCA Youth chief
JOHOR BARU: Youths are encouraged to have differing opinions, but these should be expressed without going overboard, says MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon.
He said youths, especially university students, tend to have opinions that diverge from those of the establishment.
'This is normal. Youths have the right to speak their mind – in fact, they are encouraged to do so through the right channels, such as rallies, without going overboard,' he said after a financial aid presentation ceremony here on Monday (June 23).

Sabah student defends anti-corruption rally, reminds leaders of past protests
KOTA KINABALU: A Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) student has defended the recent anti-corruption protest and symbolic act of burning a caricature of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, pointing out that Anwar once led similar demonstrations during his university days. In a Facebook post, final-year student Fadhil Kasim reminded the public that when Anwar was a student leader at Universiti Malaya, he had also led a protest where he and others burned a book written by Malaysia's first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman. 'At that time, they believed the book was 'submersive', so Anwar and his group held a protest and even burned the book in public,' Fadhil wrote. Fadhil said today's student protesters are being unfairly criticised by Anwar's supporters, including groups like Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (Abim) and Angkatan Muda KeAdilan (AMK), who seem more interested in pleasing the Prime Minister than standing up for the people. He added that the Gempur Rasuah 2.0 Rally at Lintasan Deasoka in Gaya Street over the weekend, where he and a friend burned a caricature of Anwar, was to highlight issues like corruption in Sabah and the water problems affecting students at UMS. 'People were quick to attack our actions and talk about morals and manners. But they ignored the bigger issue, the people's problems and corruption,' he said. Fadhil said he believes Anwar might understand their actions if he remembered what he used to do as a student activist in the 1970s. 'But that is just wishful thinking. The truth is, Anwar is now the Prime Minister, not a student anymore,' he said. Fadhil also pointed out that when Anwar was in the opposition, he often visited Sabah and spoke about issues like corruption, logging, poor roads, and Sabah's rights. 'Now it is different. He seems more focused on keeping the GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah) government strong in his Madani administration … even though GRS is facing major corruption scandals,' he said. Fadhil ended his post by identifying himself as 'the student who burned the caricature of Anwar,' and included the line: 'Madani: Protector of Sabah's corrupt.' He also added a black and white photo of Anwar, and several others, in an act of setting fire to some items on the floor.

UMS to lodge police report on burning of PM's caricature, denies involvement
UMS issued a statement denying involvement in the rally. KOTA KINABALU (June 23): Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) will lodge a police report in connection with the recent incident of Gempur Rasuah 2.0 rally participants who burned a caricature of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. UMS said that it was not involved either directly or indirectly with the rally or the incident, which went viral on social media recently, and the report would be made to facilitate further investigations. 'Besides being contrary to the norms of peaceful assemblies, UMS views the act as uncivilised, immature and does not reflect the intellect of the students of the institution of higher education,' it said in a statement Monday. The statement added that UMS also strongly rejects any action that risks endangering not just the participants but also the public. UMS also expressed disappointment with the group for questioning the appointment of Tun Musa Aman as the Yang Dipertua Negeri of Sabah. On Saturday (June 21), the Suara Mahasiswa UMS group organised the Gempur Rasuah Sabah 2.0 rally, including marching around Kota Kinabalu and carrying placards involving various issues in Sabah, such as corruption and water supply, in addition to burning a caricature of Anwar.

Participants Of Gempur Rasuah 2.0 Rally Under Probe For Nine Offences
KOTA KINABALU, June 23 (Bernama) -- Participants of the Gempur Rasuah 2.0 rally are being investigated for nine offences related to the peaceful assembly held last Saturday (June 21), Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun said. He said the offences include incitement, open burning in a public area, possession of dangerous or corrosive substances during the rally, and raising sensitive issues involving royalty, religion, and race (3R). Investigations are being conducted not only under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 but also under the Sedition Act 1948 and the Penal Code. To date, we've received six police reports related to this case and opened three investigation papers covering nine offences. There were incidents during the rally that should not have occurred. 'No arrests have been made so far, but beginning today, several individuals involved will be called in to provide their statements,' he told a press conference at the Sabah Police Headquarters here today. The rally, organised by Suara Mahasiswa Universiti Malaysia Sabah, included a march through Kota Kinabalu and placards highlighting various issues in Sabah, such as corruption and water supply. Participants also burned a caricature of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Jauteh said the organisers had submitted a notification to the police, as required under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012. Police then responded with 15 conditions to ensure public order was maintained. 'Many people misunderstand the process. The Act does not approve or license rallies — it simply outlines the procedure for organisers to notify the police, and for the police to respond. Our role is to help maintain public order and safeguard everyone involved, including the participants. 'Unfortunately, in this case, the organisers failed to comply with the stated conditions. While voicing their concerns is their right, it must be done responsibly and without provocation,' he said.
