2300: Three USM students were detained at 9.15pm while they were distributing leaflets in the campus. The three were bundled into a van apparently without any explanation and taken to the campus’ security department.
The leaflets provided an introduction to the “Pro-Mahasiswa” group and a bit of publicity about the group’s appointment to meet the USM Deputy Vice-Chancellor tomorrow. The students are believed to be preparing for campus elections expected to be held soon and are seeking free and fair campus elections.
Bundling students into a van? Is this the way an “apex university” handles students’ affairs? Do they think they can rise up the THES global rankings this way?
The three students held are:
- Yap Heng Lung
- Ch’ng Hui Yang
- Chew Kai Sheng
Some 50-70 students are now keeping vigil outside the security deparment now (Phone: 04-657 3970 and 653 4333)
