They had wanted to deliver a personal message to prime minister Najib Abdul Razak tonight but a group of student activists were left holding up their protest placards at his official entourage as the fleet of cars left the Universiti Malaya campus.

Kesatuan Mahasiswa Malaysia chairperson Anis Syafiqah Md Yusof said it was "strange" for Najib's official car and entourage to have exited through the main gate facing Kerinchi but entered through another gate nearer to Petaling Jaya.

"Maybe they knew that we would be here. But we hope that no matter what, Najib will see our message," said Anis Syafiqah.

UPDATED 11.25PM | The main thrust of TN50, for us, should be a reform of institutions of higher education, says the group.
