Kota Kinabalu: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) will lodge a police report in connection with the recent incident of Gempur Rasuah 2.0 rally participants who burned a caricature of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. UMS stated that it was not involved either directly or indirectly with the rally or the incident, which went viral on social media recently, and the report would be made to facilitate further investigations.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, UMS emphasized that the actions at the rally were contrary to the norms of peaceful assemblies. The institution described the act as uncivilised and immature, asserting that it does not reflect the intellect of its students. The statement also highlighted UMS’s strong rejection of any actions that could potentially endanger both participants and the public.

UMS expressed disappointment with the group for questioning the appointment of Tun Musa Aman as the Yang Dipertua Negeri of Sabah. The rally, organized by the Suara Mahasiswa UMS group on Saturday, involved activities such as marching around Kota Kinabalu and carrying placards addressing issues like corruption and water supply. The event culminated in the burning of a caricature of Anwar, sparking widespread attention.
