TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Hundreds of protestors gathered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday, October 24, 2025, to reject Donald Trump's presence at the ASEAN Summit. The protest was led by Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), the largest opposition party in Malaysia, and attended by pro-Palestinian activists.

According to reports from CNA, the crowd began to gather after Friday prayers at around 02:00 p.m. local time, in front of Menara Tabung Haji, in the city center of Kuala Lumpur. Most of the participants wore all black while carrying Palestine flags. Some of them raised placards that read "Dump Trump" and "Trump you are not welcome".

The crowd then headed to the United States Embassy on Jalan Tun Razak, about 700 meters from the starting point, shouting chants of "Get out Donald Trump" and "Free Palestine".

In addition to the protest on Friday, at least one other demonstration of "Trump You're Not Welcome in Malaysia" will be held on Sunday in the Ampang Park area, near the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), where the ASEAN Summit will take place.

The demonstration is planned to be joined by various civil society groups and political parties, including BDS Malaysia, Global Progressive Solidarity (SSP), Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang), and the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA).
