PKR polls: Who are Adam Adli and Fahmi Zainol, the two young guns running for the post of Youth wing chief?

KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — With the PKR party polls rolling in hot, the race for the leadership of Angkatan Muda Keadilan — the party's Youth wing — is between two former student activists, Adam Adli Abdul Halim and Fahmi Zainol.

His first brush with the law came in 2011, when he made headlines for bringing down a flag bearing the image of then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak outside the Umno headquarters at the Putra World Trade Centre. He was initially charged under Section 4 of the Sedition Act and sentenced to 12 months in prison by the Sessions Court in 2014. The High Court subsequently upheld the sentence but substituted the prison term with a fine of RM5,000.

On March 30 this year, he announced that he would be contesting the AMK chief's post, and would be teaming up with lawyer Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim who will contest the deputy chief post. he said that his team — known as Seangkatan — would also have three vice-chief candidates and 20 executive council members. that should he win, his main focus would be preparing AMK and the party for the 15th general election .

Thirty-one-year-old Fahmi Zainol got into the spotlight for the first time in 2014 when he was just 23 years old. Fahmi was later suspended after a 12-hour disciplinary hearing. Fahmi and seven other students — dubbed UM8 — said they were disappointed with the university's decision. On Oct 31, the Court of Appeal upheld a High Court decision which had overturned the board’s action against Fahmi and his then committee members Safwan Shamsuddin, Adam Fistival Wilfrid, Haw Yu Hong and Khairol Najib Hashim.

“First of all, Muda is a new party, and there is a big difference between welfare and political volunteer work. Professor Azmi said Fahmi seems to have a slight advantage against Adam as he has experience with the PKR machinery.
