00:00University Malaysia Sabah students ended their protest over the water shortage issue at their

00:05campus on Saturday morning.

00:08The group had been camping for 17 hours opposite Menara Kinabalu, with the hopes of handing

00:12over their six-point memorandum to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Haji Jinur.

00:17On Friday, the Secretariat of the Protest refused to hand over the memorandum to Deputy

00:21Chief Minister III, Datuk Shahelmay Yahya.

00:25Programme Coordinator Mohamad Norhamdin Nordin said this was because the Chief Minister did

00:29not turn up after they waited for 17 hours.

00:33He said nine people were detained by the police, including a teacher.

00:40He denied that the protest was politically motivated, saying that the presence of political

00:45figures was in their personal capacity.
