"They are free to express themselves," he was quoted as saying.
Chong's statement is in contrast to Higher Education Minister Idris Jusoh's who warned students' against participating in the protest.
Chong's remarks also came amid several public universities warning their students not to join Bersih 4.
The rally comes amid several scandals plaguing Najib including his handling of state-owned 1MDB and the RM2.6 billion in deposits in his personal bank accounts.
Najib had denied taking public funds for personal gain while his supporters claim the massive deposits was a political donation from the Middle East.
