Students part of a group called Gerakan Desak Janji Pakatan Harapan (DESAK), held a protest outside of the Parliament building today over Harapan’s failure to keep some of its election promises.
The group’s chairperson, Muhammad Ikhwan Nasyriq, said the Budget 2020 proved that the Harapan government wasn’t capable of realising its election promises, especially on PTPTN.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamd said students have the right to demonstrate, but a convocation ceremony is neither the time nor place to carry out such an action.
Universiti Malaya (UM) graduate Wong Yan Ke is now being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code after the university lodged a police report over his protest during the varsity’s graduation ceremony yesterday.
