The Star Online

In a surprising turn of events, the police have denied permission for the planned solidarity rally at the Palace of Justice, stating that the application was incomplete. According to Putrajaya OCPD Asst Comm Aidi, the organisers failed to provide the necessary documentation, resulting in the rejection of their application. The rally, initially planned to show support for Najib, has been put on hold due to this setback. The police have emphasized the importance of following proper procedures and protocols when organising public gatherings, highlighting the need for thorough planning and compliance with regulations. As the situation unfolds, attendees and supporters are left in limbo, awaiting further updates on the fate of the rally. With the authorities prioritising public safety and order, it remains to be seen whether the event will be rescheduled or cancelled altogether, sparking discussions on freedom of assembly and the role of law enforcement in Malaysia's political landscape, including issues of public gathering permits and event management.
