Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) today gathered outside the Menara Tabung Haji building here, before marching towards the US Embassy at Jalan Tun Razak.
The non-governmental organisation (NGO) planned to protest against the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) in conjunction with US president Barack Obama's visit today.
Obama is joining leaders of the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) for a weekend summit.
