Umany members bombarded with death, rape, acid attack threats

The Universiti Malaya Association of New Youth (Umany) wants police to investigate death, rape, and acid attack threats made against its members.

The student group said they began receiving threatening messages on Nov 18 which were accompanied by their photos.

"The content received by the Umany members includes graphic descriptions of rape and death, threats to rape Umany female members, threats to hurl acid on Umany members and their families, threats to kill Umany members and their family members, (and) personal attacks towards members using vulgar language and racist remarks.

"We are deeply concerned whether there was any data or security breach that had compromised Umany members’ personal information," they said in a statement.

A police report has been lodged with the Petaling Jaya police station.
