In a statement, Wong Yan Ke said he heard that the site had been hacked yesterday evening and wanted to make it clear that he had nothing to do with it
“I know nothing about computer science, and I didn’t order anyone to do this on my behalf,” he added
He also displayed a picture of a message he had shared two days ago, which was left at the site as well. It read: “I would rather die standing than live kneeling. If my words threaten those in power so be it. If my pictures alarm the people, that is good. Your teeth come down my sword goes up.”At the time of writing, FMT was still unable to access the site which is used for all transactions with UM
Wong Yan Ke.Wong, a civil engineering student, had carried a placard on-stage during his convocation ceremony on Monday demanding the resignation of UM vice-chancellor Abdul Rahim Hashim
He told FMT he protested against Rahim because the university’s name had been used for racial and political reasons as one of four institutions which organised the Malay Dignity Congress
UM later lodged a police report against Wong, accusing him of tarnishing the university’s image and disrupting convocation protocol. - FMT
