Organisers mooting 'Save Malaysia' rallies in Bagan Datuk, Permatang Pauh


PETALING JAYA: The Save Malaysia rally may be held in Permatang Pauh and Bagan said Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz (pic).

"The plan is to have it in Permatang Pauh and Bagan Datuk. Many people still want to protest," said the rally's organising committee member on Sunday (Sept 17).

Bagan Datuk is Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's constituency, while Permatang Pauh was Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's family legacy seat for two decades.

On Saturday (Sept 16), the Save Malaysia rally concluded without any untoward incidents.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Majid said although the rally failed to comply with provisions of the Peaceful Assembly Act, the police took every necessary step to ensure it ran smoothly.

"The rally began at around 1.15pm at Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru and ended near Sogo Kuala Lumpur at around 3.30pm.

"Based on our initial investigations, 16 individuals gave speeches during the rally. A police report was also lodged by the organisers at the Dang Wangi police headquarters during the rally," he told a press conference on Saturday.
