KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 — The police confirmed today that it will be calling up around 90 participants of a physically-distanced sit-in protest yesterday in front of the Parliament where participants broke their fast together for Ramadan.
Bukit Aman police said the participants will be investigated under Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 for allegedly not applying for police permit to hold the event, which among others called for the Parliament to reconvene and an end to the Emergency.
“Checks found that there was not application received by the Dang Wangi district police headquarters from any parties to hold the rally,” it said in a brief note to the media.
“All those who were found to be involved in the rally will be called to give their statements soon,” it added.
