BN head Mohd Najib Abdul Razak must end his silence on alleged molest by his supporters, says Bersih’s special committee on political violence and caretaker government guidelines.

NONE "He should come out clearly to condemn such behaviour, and the police should take action," committee member Yap Swee Seng (right) told a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.

The incident at Southern University College in Skudai, Johor, also reflects badly on the BN as the alleged perpetrators were handpicked party workers in Najib’s entourage, noted committee co-chair Irene Fernandez.

"While the university college's administration has apologised , we shall wait and see what BN is going to do," Irene said.

“This is serious as we cannot tolerate any form of sexual harassment or gender-based violence.”

Yesterday, two students on duty at a launch ceremony for the college’s new building officiated by Najib complained that members of the caretaker PM’s entourage sexually molested them.

The college’s head has apologised to the student body over the matter, though Najib has remained tight-lipped.

Caretaker Johor Menteri Besar Abdul Ghani Othman has advised the students to lodge a police report on their allegations.
