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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.
