PETALING JAYA: The planned #TangkapMalaysianOfficial1 rally cannot be declared illegal if it is peaceful, said lawyer Syahredzan Johan.  

"Under the Peaceful Assembly Act, the Government cannot outlaw any peaceful assembly. It can only stop the assembly if it is in a prohibited place or within 50m of a prohibited place, or if the assembly-goers commit an offence under any written law," said Syahredzan.
