Mandiri’s X account has been suspended, said the youth group's coordinator, Wong Kueng Hui.
Wong told Malaysiakini that Mandiri became aware of the suspension last night, but added that he is unsure when precisely the suspension occurred.
"We have just noticed that our X account has been suspended. For now, we have no further comment. We are still working to get the account back.
"We do not want to make any accusations; we hope there are no elements of sabotage," Wong said.
This came a day after three youth activists were arrested for allegedly disrupting MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki’s speech.
In an Instagram post, Mandiri shared a screenshot of a suspension notice on its X page, with the caption: "For those who asked, it's true that Mandiri's X account has been suspended.
"Efforts are underway to regain access. Hopefully, if there is any element of sabotage, it will be stopped."
Malaysiakini has reached out to the MCMC for comments.
Yesterday afternoon, three protesters were arrested after waving “Tangkap Azam Baki” (Arrest Azam Baki) placards while the MACC chief commissioner delivered a public address at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
At least one protester audibly shouted the slogan while the others waved the placards.
The auxiliary police at the scene apprehended them and brought them to the Dang Wangi police headquarters at around 4.30pm.
The trio were identified as Mandiri coordinators Hamdin Nordin and Fakrurrazzi Khairur Rijal, and Liga Mahasiswa Malaysia activist Ahsanul Akmal Sulam.
Upcoming rally
The protest against Azam came amid renewed mobilisation by the Tangkap Azam Baki secretariat, of which the detained trio are affiliated members.
On March 30, the secretariat announced plans to hold a demonstration against the MACC chief at Dataran Merdeka on April 25.
The demonstration is intended to demand a more thorough and transparent investigation into Azam’s shareholding controversy, as well as allegations of misconduct linked to a so-called “corporate mafia”.
The upcoming rally follows a series of protests held in recent months over the allegations surrounding Azam, after Bloomberg and Malaysiakini reported that he owned significant shares in two companies, exceeding civil service limits.
Subsequently, Bloomberg published a report alleging that senior MACC officers had colluded with private individuals to stage corporate takeover of rivals, with Azam's knowledge and support.
The MACC has since denied all allegations. - Mkini
