The law student says she wants the closure since the public has been made aware about students' freedom of expression in local universities.
KUALA LUMPUR: KS Bawani, the law student who became an overnight sensation, wants a closure to the infamous “listen, listen, listen” video which propelled her into stardom.
“I want this to end. I don’t want to talk about the video anymore.
“The public is now aware because it shows the reality of students in campuses,” she told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall today.
The Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) student and Suara Wanita 1Malaysia president Sharifah Zohra Jabeen Syed Shah Miskin have been in the limelight after the video went viral on social networking site, Facebook.
In the 24-minute video, Sharifah Zohra is seen berating Bawani when the latter argued in favour of free education during a forum that took place in UUM in December.
Due to public pressure, Sharifah Zohra forgave Bawani and apologised to the university, students and the public.
Since then there had been many calls by student groups for Sharifah Zohra to debate with Bawani.
One student group, Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia, even organised a forum last week which had constitutional law expert Aziz Bari as a fellow panellist. However, Sharifah Zohra skipped the forum.
Meanwhile, Bawani said that the focus should be on other crucial issues.
“It [the video] has overshadowed other important issues such as minimum wage, death-in custody,” added the Oppressed People’s Network (Jerit) and Community Development Centre activist.
