KUALA LUMPUR – The police have not received any application to hold the “Selamatkan Malaysia” (Save Malaysia) rally being planned to be held in the federal capital on Saturday.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Majid said the provision in Section 9(1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 requires the application for a permit to be made at least five days before the date it is held.
"The period has ended but no application has been made by the organisers," he told a press conference at Phase 2 of Op Hormat Undang-Undang Jalan Raya by the Kuala Lumpur police here today.
Allaudeen said that so far, the police had received six reports regarding the proposed gathering purportedly being organised by Perikatan Nasional Youth.
Police have recorded statements from five individuals, including Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari and Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, to assist in the investigation, he said.
He said police also recorded statements from Gombak Setia assemblyman Hilman Idham and two journalists who covered Fadhli's press conference about the rally. – Bernama, September 13, 2023
