KUALA LUMPUR: The police will not curtail the people’s right to gather, but it must be done within the confines of the law, says Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.
The Inspector-General of Police advised the public to be patient in exercising their rights and expressing their opinions, especially following the political crisis that engulfed the nation recently.
The IGP was commenting on concerns by NGOs that a sedition investigation was being conducted against a lawyer who organised a pro-democracy rally last week. “I also urge all NGOs to go back to the law. We don’t want to prevent any groups from gathering but they must follow procedures in accordance with the PAA.“How can we deploy sufficient manpower to ensure the safety of all if no notice was given?” he said.
