Police will not allow Sept 16 rally: IGP

GEORGE TOWN: Police have yet to receive any permit application from the organisers of the Himpunan Maruah Melayu rally next week.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar stressed that he would not allow the rally to go on, especially in downtown Kuala Lumpur.

"We are not allowing it (the rally) due to security concerns.

"We advise the organisers to look for another alternative location," he told reporters here.

It was reported that the organisers of the rally were adamant about carrying on with their demonstration, despite not receiving clearance from police to do so.

Meanwhile, Khalis said the chaos at Stadium Shah Alam during the match between Malaysia and Saudi Arabia last night, has been pre-planned.

"We are investigating the case further.

"We will also look into measures to improve security in the stadium to prevent the recurrence of such incident in the future," he said.
