Universiti Malaya student Ummi Umairah Bakhit claimed she had faced online threats and harassment after videos of her criticising donations to former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak went viral.

The 23-year-old economics undergraduate told the New Straits Times that she stood by her statement and refused to be intimidated by those attacking her.

"After the video went viral, they took my photos from Instagram without my consent.

"Some of them also threatened me with expulsion from the university, harassed me, made comments about my physical appearance, and much more," she alleged.
