PETALING JAYA:
Muda acting president Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz has been summoned to the Dang Wangi police station on June 18 over her involvement in last month’s rally demanding the resignation of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Azam Baki.

According to Amira, she will record her statement under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act following an order from the Papar district police in Sabah.

“I have been summoned and investigated in connection with many previous peaceful assemblies,” she said in an X posting today.

“I remain steadfast in the struggle to bring truth and justice. As long as I can, I will continue to move forward with this struggle.”

On the night of May 25, some 60 protesters marched to Dataran Merdeka to protest Azam’s third-term extension as MACC chief.

The participants, who included representatives from NGOs such as rights group Suaram, electoral reform group Bersih and political parties like Muda and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), marched from the Sogo shopping complex just after 8pm.

At the rally, Amira had called for greater transparency from the government and not to weaponise the anti-graft agency.
