Gerakan National Deputy Youth Chief, Oh Tong Keong expresses his regrets on the UPSI student protest incident which led to many students being beaten up by the police whilst one of them badly injured.  The incident not only aroused more anger amongst the citizens of the country especially young people, it also further tarnishes the image of the police which is another blow to the government.

Oh urged the police to be more civilized and act within the ambit of law when carrying out their duty in handling protests. He said, "It is unreasonable to be so violent to students who are armless and protesting in peace." Oh is also in the opinion that the police should carry out internal investigation on the UPSI incident and give an explanation to the badly injured student.

民青团全国署理团长胡栋强针对一群学生于苏丹依德里斯师范大学示威时遭到警方暴力对付，而导致其中一名学生严重受伤而感到遗憾。这起事件不但会令更多马来西亚人，尤其是年轻一辈的大马人民感到愤怒，甚至会进一步沾污我国警察原已就不佳的形象，间接打击政府。

胡栋强呼吁警方应以文明手法处理示威事件，并且应在法律范围内采取行动。他说，“使用暴力方式对付手无寸铁的学生是不能被接受的。”胡栋强也表示警方应针对这起苏丹依德里斯师范大学事件进行内部调查，以便给予那位受重伤的学生一个合理的交代。
