About 500 Universiti Malaya students, sporting blue ribbons, staged a march in their campus in solidarity with law lecturer Azmi Sharom, who has been charged with sedition. The protesters, who included five DAP MPs, also demanded that the Sedition Act be abolished.

"The strike is also to demand the repeal of the Sedition Act," said Fahmi.

Azmi (above, addressing the crowd) was also present. 


Led by the UM student union president Fahmi Ismail, the protesters marched for about 1km from the Law Faculty.

In Penang, a group of students in Universiti Sains Malaysia also staged a similar march.

Speaking to reporters later, Azmi said he was proud of the students for coming out in large numbers to voice their concern.

"Freedom of speech is an issue close to the students' hearts,” he said.

Azmi said he does not know if the students would face disciplinary action for the demonstration, but he is prepared to defend any of them hauled up by the UM administration.

Students are not sheep

Azmi, in his speech to the gathering, expressed gratitude to Universiti Malaya Academic Staff Union (PKAUM) and the UM students union for organising the demonstration.

"(But) my biggest thank you is to the students of UM," said the academician, who has 24 years of teaching experience under his belt.



Commenting on Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin's call to the students not to skip class for Azmi’s sake, he joked that this was probably because Khairy was never absent from class as a student.

"He doesn't understand that all of you here are not pro-Azmi, but because you prioritise human rights and freedom of speech.

"We will show the country that students are not like sheep, that they know about important issues.

"This is about freedom of expression, this is not just about freeing Azmi Sharom," he added.

Azmi also urged students to seek freedom for preacher Wan Ji Wan Hussin, who was charged with sedition this morning.



"We must ask for the freedom of Wan Ji, Safwan Anang, the late Karpal Singh, Adam Adli, Tian Chua, Rafizi Ramli, N Surendran, Teresa Kok and Susan Loone as well as the president of Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma).

"This is the difference between us and those who defend the Sedition Act.

"It is not good for him (Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman) as well. Although I don't agree with what he says, we must defend his rights to speak out,” Azmi said, referring to all caught in the sedition dragnet.

'No intimidation'

Meanwhile, Economics and Administration Faculty lecturer Terence Gomez said that this is the first time the student and academic staff union has come together for a cause, since he started teaching in UM in 1993.



Commenting on the spate of arrests, he said academicians would not be able to publish controversial articles should it continue.

"We won't accept the kind of intimidation we are being subjected to. I say stop this nonsense, now."

The protest ended at 2pm, after speeches by various students and academicians, with the protesters singing the national anthem.

Students participating in the students union strike will skip their classes until 4.30pm today, to attend a lecture in the campus on the issue.

Also present at the demonstration at the MU campus were DAP MPs Gobind Singh Deo (Puchong), Lim Lip Eng (Segambut) and Teresa Kok (Seputeh).





Small group in Penang shows solidarity

A small group of protesters expressing solidarity with law lecturer Azmi Sharom were told to take their rally outside Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) grounds.

The group of 20 - students, NGO activists and several elected representatives - were told politely to hold their rally outside the university gates on Jalan Sungai Dua by USM security department head P Sundramoorthy, who is also a criminologist.

The group, led by the Student Progressive Front (SPF), complied despite being stopped while they were half-way through their speeches.

For a brief moment, the group carried placards condemning the 1948 Sedition Act, including one which says ‘Rosmah Mansuh Akta Hasutan’.

They were taking a dig at the father’s name of the prime minister’s wife, ‘Mansor’, which sounds similar to ‘mansuh’ (abolish).



Political scientist Wong Chin Huat said the 1948 Sedition Act is a tool of oppression to criminalise and colonise the people’s minds.

Wong said it was ironic that the federal government had launched a series of arrests under the Sedition Act during the Merdeka season.

“We are not doing this because we love Azmi, we are also doing this for all victims of the Sedition law.

“Unlike the charge of criminal defamation, truth is no defence for  sedition.

“You will get into trouble as long as you anger someone. What independence are we talking about?” he asked.

“Independence is not only about changing from colonial rule but it must also ensure our minds are not colonised,” said the Penang Institute research fellow.

Accompanying Wong (left) were Penang cabinet member Dr Afif Bahardin, several academicians, former USM lecturer Mustafa Kamal Anuar, Aliran treasurer Anil Netto, PKR’s Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin and Machang Bubok assemblyperson Lee Khai Loon.

Outside the university compound, SPF spokesperson Lee Chung Lun said the rally was to “pressure” the prosecution to drop the sedition charges against Azmi, who is a Universiti Malaya academician.

The group also wants the authorities to stop the “selective prosecution” towards politicians from the (federal) opposition camp.

“The authorities should respect the academic freedom of students and academicians.

“We urge Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to fulfil his promise to repeal the Sedition Act,” said Lee.

This is part of a simultaneous rally held for Azmi and other victims of the Act at UM today attended by 500, including lecturers and undergraduates.

新冠病毒疫情下的马来西亚
舔美精神患者的状态

年轻一辈人民之友有感而作


注:这“漫画新解”是反映一名自诩“智慧高人一等”而且“精于民主理论”的老姐又再突发奇想地运用她所学会的一丁点“颜色革命”理论和伎俩来征服人民之友队伍里的学弟学妹们的心理状态——她在10多年前曾在队伍里因时时表现自己是超群精英,事事都要别人服从她的意愿而人人“惊而远之”,她因此而被挤出队伍近10年之久。

她在三年前被一名年长工委推介,重新加入人民之友队伍。可是,就在今年年初她又再故态复萌,尤其是在3月以来,不断利用部落格的贴文,任意扭曲而胡说八道。起初,还以“不同意见者”的姿态出现,以博取一些不明就里的队友对她的同情和支持,后来,她发现了她的欺骗伎俩无法得逞之后,索性撤下了假面具,对人民之友一贯的“反对霸权主义、反对种族主义”的政治立场,发出歇斯底里的叫嚣,而暴露她设想人民之友“改旗易帜”的真面目!

尤其是在新冠病毒疫情(COVID-19)课题上,她公然猖狂跟人民之友的政治立场对着干,指责人民之友服务于中国文宣或大中华,是 “中国海外统治部”、“中华小红卫兵”等等等等。她甚至通过强硬粗暴手段擅自把我们的WhatsApp群组名称“Sahabat Rakyat Malaysia”改为“吐槽美国样衰俱乐部”这样的无耻行动也做得出来。她的这种种露骨的表现足以说明了她是一名赤裸裸的“反中仇华”份子。

其实,在我们年轻队友看来,这名嘲讽我们“浪费了20年青春”[人民之友成立至今近20年(2001-9-9迄今)]并想要“拯救我们年轻工委”的这位“徐大姐”,她的思想依然停留在20年前的上个世纪。她初始或许是不自觉接受了“西方民主”和“颜色革命”思想的培养,而如今却是自觉地为维护美国的全球霸权统治而与反对美国霸权支配全球的中国人民和全世界各国(包括马来西亚)人民为敌。她是那么狂妄自大,却是多么幼稚可笑啊!

她所说的“你们浪费了20年青春”正好送回给她和她的跟班,让他们把她的这句话吞到自己的肚子里去!
