KUALA LUMPUR – Stern action will be taken against any individual who participates in the #Lawan rally on August 21, said Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

He said the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) had taken note that there were parties who planned to stage the rally which he described as irresponsible.

“This is because (it) violates the standard operating procedures (SOP) under the National Recovery Plan as well as neglecting public health advice to curb the nation’s Covid-19 outbreak.

“PDRM asks the public not to participate in any activities that violate the law and these SOPs,” he said in a statement tonight.

Acryl Sani also stressed that PDRM will not tolerate those who organise or take part in any rally. – Bernama, August 7, 2021
