  "account": "Education Minister Zambry Abd Kadir has warned politicians not to use Universiti Malaya student Ummi Umairah Bakhit as a tool for political propaganda. In a recent TikTok video, Zambry also urged the Communication and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) to investigate the dissemination of content and related social media accounts that targeted Ummi Umairah Bakhit. He stated that such intimidation is unacceptable and that Ummi is entitled to file a police report to have the authorities conduct an investigation. Zambry emphasized that she has the right to express her opinion, and responsible freedom of speech should be allowed in a mature, polite, and factual environment. He also warned politicians against using Ummi as propaganda, as she could become a victim of political agendas. Zambry further claimed that there are ministers who have proposed the creation of t-shirts displaying Ummi's image. Ummi, a first-year economics student, gained attention at the International Future Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur after questioning the contributions to aid Najib Razak in paying a RM50 million court fine. The Vice Chancellor of UM, Noor Azuan Abu Osman, reportedly stated last Saturday that no disciplinary action will be taken against Ummi, as students should be given the space to express their views.",
