Hundreds of Malaysians rally to demand arrest of anti-corruption head: ‘enough is enough’
The protest against Azam is the biggest since Malaysians rallied in October to demand government action against Israel over the Gaza war
The crowd of mainly young people waved black flags and placards as they assembled outside a shopping centre in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, with a major road temporarily shut to accommodate the demonstration.
“We are gathering because the dignity of the law has been toyed with, and the country’s dignity has been trampled on,” opposition politician Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz told the cheering protesters.
“Enough is enough, Malaysia’s youth, Malaysia’s citizens, won’t sit quiet and close their eyes, nor will they stop demanding Azam Baki be arrested.”
The event marked the biggest street protest since Malaysians rallied in October to demand the government take action against Israel over its actions in Gaza, and is the second demonstration against Azam since 2022.
