M'sian police to investigate rally participants' violation of terms






KUALA LUMPUR: Police will carry out investigations on participants who violated the three conditions agreed to by the rally organiser, Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zainuddin Ahmad said.

The three conditions prohibit the participants from bringing children below the age of 15 and waving placards and banners with seditious words; and compel the organiser to ensure that no more than 30,000 people were participating in the rally.

Zainuddin said the conditions were among the 27 police conditions agreed to by the organiser in accordance with Malaysia's Peaceful Assembly Act.

He said no arrests were made and no unwanted incidents occurred during the rally.

"Only two minor incidents occurred as the participants rushed to enter the stadium where the gathering was officially held, causing two senior citizens to pass out and be taken to hospital," he told reporters after the rally in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.

Zainuddin said several opposition leaders had also commended the service and cooperation given by the police throughout the rally.

He said the number of participants attending the rally was estimated at 45,000.

He also refuted the allegation that a bomb was found at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre area.
