Occupy UM site becomes home to student protestors


KUALA LUMPUR: The Occupy UM site, located just outside Universiti Malaya’s (UM) gates, has become the new home of students protesting against the university’s punishment of eight undergraduates, collectively known as UM8, for illegally organising a talk featuring Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“I treat this place like my home, I come here after class and I sleep here. It is quite tough living out here, but I am doing it because I believe in the cause we are fighting for,” said third-year Islamic studies student Ahmad Aqiel.
