I've tried proper channels, Wong tells Dr Mahathir
- 5 years ago
Students have the right to demonstrate, but a convocation ceremony is neither the time nor place to carry out such an action.
"We have certain procedures and rules and regulations. And we need to follow the rules otherwise there will be chaos," Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad told the media at the International Day for the Eradication Poverty Forum.
However, according to Universiti Malaya (UM) graduate Wong Yan Ke, he had exhausted all proper channels.
Wong 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.
According to the activist’s lawyer Asheeq Ali, police had received ten reports from the public against his client, and the case is being investigated under Section 504 which is intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace.
