Hasnat Abdullah, convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, emphasized that the nation can only progress by taking a firm stand against corruption. “If merit is lost, incompetence will rule,” he said, pointing out that unqualified individuals often end up leading mosque committees. He praised Mustafa Fayezi Huzur as one of the few who never wavered in the face of jail, abduction, or murder threats. Hasnat also urged everyone to focus on education and humility.
