Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - Two private college students who had displayed an alternative flag at the Merdeka eve celebration last week have been detained at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters here.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the two, aged 24 and 26, surrendered at 3.15pm and are expected to be released on police bail after having their statements recorded.
The two are being investigated under Section 9(1) of the Sedition Act.
