THE Universiti Malaya Association of New Youth (Umany) said the recent splashing of red paint on the doors of a KK Mart outlet in the campus was extreme and urged the administration to probe the matter.

Umany president Lim Jing Jet said such extreme actions were not an appropriate means of expression.

"We are not sure if the incident is connected with the recent chicken ham sandwich controversy, but condemn the action.

“Vandalising property may seem like a minor offence, but can still fall under the destruction of property as outlined in Section 425 of the Penal Code,” he said.

He called on the university administration to enhance security through measures such as increased surveillance, patrols, and collaboration with student representatives.

Lim urged a swift and transparent investigation into the vandalism to ensure accountability and prevent similar acts in the future.

KK Mart is once again at the centre of a controversy over a “ham and cheese sandwich” it had sold at some outlets, which was supplied by a Shake and Bake Café.

The sandwiches were affixed with the halal logo authorisation as Shake and Bake Café did not possess the certification needed. - January 21, 2025
