Anis, together with Muhammad Luqman Nul Haqim Zul Razali, Muhammad Luqman Hakim Mohd Fazli and Suhail Wan Azahar, were suspended by UM for participating in the Tangkap MO1 rally on Aug 27 this year.

“We want the university to drop all charges against us because it has no right and justification to prevent us from participating in the rally,” she told reporters before entering the hearing hall at UM.

All four students have been issued a show cause letter by the university

If found guilty, the students will face any one of the following penalties: a warning; a fine of not more than RM200; a ban on entering certain parts of the university for a certain period of time; or be suspended or expelled from the university.

On Oct 22, the university had issued a letter to the four students, summoning them for the disciplinary hearing today.

The university has charged that the students acted in a manner detrimental and prejudicial to the interests and good reputation of the university, acted in a manner detrimental to public safety and had violated the university’s regulations.

After attending the six-hour disciplinary hearing, the four students were told by the panel that the proceedings had been postponed to Dec 9.

Anis said the panel wanted to give the students a chance to understand the charges brought against them.

The Tangkap MO1 rally on Aug 27 was organised by a coalition of students and youth groups calling for the arrest of the MO1 named in the United States’ Department of Justice’s recent civil suit linked to state fund 1MDB.

Anis and student organisers led a large group of people in a march to Dataran Merdeka.
