JOHOR The police have urged the two
students of Southern University College who claimed to have been
molested by BN supporters on Monday at an event attended by BN head
Najib Abdul Razak to lodge a report.
In a text-message, Johor Bahru Utara district police chief ACP Ruslan Hassan told Malaysiakini that the police have yet to receive a report from the two students.
“I have contacted (Southern University College president) Thock (Kiah Wah, holding microphone) and asked him to urge the two females to lodge a police report,” he said.
The
students, both 19, said yesterday they have yet to decide whether to
lodge a police report as the college management has promised to resolve
the issue.
They had been assigned as 'etiquette angels' to present Najib with a pen to sign a plaque during the ground-breaking ceremony for a new building for the college.
They alleged that they had been sexually molested by youths clad in BN T-shirts, who entered the campus in a motorcycle convoy along with Najib.
Addressing a protest rally organised by the students yesterday, Thock said the college respects the decision of the two students not to lodge a police report.
Last
night the students held a signature drive at the outdoor car park of
Sutera Mall in Skudai, where Pakatan Rakyat was holding a mega ceramah that attracted some 50,000 people.
Some 30 members of the alumni and members of the public protested in Kuala Lumpur yesterday against ‘political infiltration’ into the college campus.
Southern University College is a higher education institution established and funded by the Chinese community.
Pakatan was quick to capitalise on the incident.
During
last night’s ceramah, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang, who is
also the candidate for the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat, condemned
Najib for keeping silent on this issue.
“Do you feel hurt? Do you feel regret? Until now, has Najib (said anything)? Does (BN Gelang Patah candidate) Abdul Ghani Othman dare to condemn it?” Lim asked the crowd.
He insisted that Najib should take responsibility for the incident as it took place during the PM's visit to the college.
