Abdul Hamid Bador says protest organisers only need to notify the police and stay out of non-designated protest zones.
The police will respect the rights to expression and assembly as long as it is within the law, said Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador.
"If we are not notified, how can the police prepare to control safety and traffic to ensure that the public are not inconvenienced? "There's a difference. If they are polite and within the context of the law, go ahead. They are free to do so."Just appreciate the freedom that you have right now... Let's look out for each other," he said.
