Outspoken student activist KS Bawani, who shot to fame after the 'Listen, listen, listen' video went viral, yesterday won a seat in what appears to be the closest battle in the Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) student body elections in recent history.

"Thank you to all my comrades who are always teaching and guiding me... This victory is also your victory. The struggle against oppression continues," Bawani said on Facebook.
