The group is part of an NGO called Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia, which is registered in Australia. Malaysian Minister Mustapha Sakmud condemned the action, saying it did not reflect the culture of the people of Sabah and Sarawak and could damage the reputation of Malaysian students and workers in Australia. He encouraged people to make formal complaints to the police so that the matter could be investigated.",
  "summary": "The group believed to be from Sabah and Sarawak did so while staging a demonstration outside the Parliament building in Melbourne.",
