PETALING JAYA: Malaysian students in universities in the United States are facing disruption to their campus lives with the eruption of pro-Palestinian protests.Azida Ahmad Azmi, a graduate student at Columbia University, New York, said the escalating situation seemed hard to avoid, especially in her campus where the first protest broke out.

"They ask if we need extensions, if we need a space in class to talk about what's happening on campus," she said. While campus activity at UC Berkeley has not been interrupted, Inas said some students have chosen not to attend classes in another form of protest. "One of the main demands is for the university to break its silence on the conflict," said Muiz, adding that protestors have also been pressuring UC Berkeley to financially divest from Israel.Many Malaysian students said they have also been in contact with officials and their sponsors from Malaysia about the situation.
