Kota Kinabalu: City Hall (DBKK) is assessing possible damage to Lintasan Deasoka following a protest by university students over the weekend.

The protest, organised by Suara Mahasiswa UMS, involved the burning of posters, which DBKK believes may have included the use of petrol.

Mayor Datuk Seri Sabin Samitah said the substance used could have left marks or caused damage to the surface.

A technical team is conducting checks, and Sabin said DBKK will take legal action if any public property was damaged.
