POLICE have identified 25 participants of the “Save Malaysia” rally in Kuala Lumpur yesterday and have called them to give their statements, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.

He said six of them, including a political party leader, would visit the Dang Wangi police station tomorrow and Tuesday.

“Of the 25 individuals involved, we have contacted 22 this morning. Five of them will appear at the Dang Wangi police headquarters for questioning tomorrow, one on Tuesday, and others will be called later,” he told a press conference at the Kedah police headquarters today.

Ayob Khan said the rally’s organisers did not comply with the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, including by failing to give prior notice to the police, holding the demonstration in a prohibited place, and bringing children to the gathering.

The rally, which started at 1.15pm yesterday, was led by Muafakat Nasional supreme council member Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz and Himpunan Selamatkan Malaysia secretariat Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Chegubard. – Bernama, September 17, 2023.
