KUALA LUMPUR: The police have received information about the intention of a group of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to organise a rally in the federal capital this Saturday (May 24).
Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman said the rally organisers had provided the information based on the provisions of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
"Police have taken note of the notification of this rally and are still in the process of discussing it with the organisers," he said in a statement on Thursday (May 22).
The media previously reported that the secretariat of the Malaysian NGO coalition was targeting more than 15,000 people to participate in the Himpunan Melayu Berdaulat (Sovereign Malay Rally) to be held near Sogo Complex here.
It was also reported that the rally is scheduled to start at 2.30pm and aims to raise awareness about the diminishing significance of the Malay-Muslims. – Bernama
