Tonight's rally is on - Rafizi | AWANI International

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) will go ahead with the "Suara Rakyat Suara Keramat" rally at Kelana Jaya Stadium tonight.

This is in line with the Peaceful Assembly Act, which requires no police permit, said the party's strategic director Rafizi Ramli.

Rafizi said the rally will be held at private place with the permission from the management and owner of the stadium.

He added that Seri Setia Asemblyman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has officially informed the nearest police station about the event.

"I believe in the sincerity and intelligence of the police under Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar who appreciate the rights of the people to gather just like in the previous rally," he said in a press statement.

In a Bernama report, Ismail said that the rally planned by the opposition was illegal because the organiser did not apply for a permit from the police and participants at the rally will be arrested.

"The organiser must comply with the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012. Marching without permit aimed at arousing anger is wrong according to the law.

"Comply with the law and use the correct channel to apply for permit from the district police chief," he told a press conference at Bukit Aman police headquarters.
