KUALA LUMPUR: The Wangsa Maju police headquarters has given civil society group Sekretariat Solidariti Palestin (SSP) the green light to proceed with its mega rally planned for this Saturday.
However, the Dang Wangi police headquarters has yet to respond to the group’s notification for the rally.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), too, has yet to approve the SSP’s request to use Padang Merbok as the assembly point.
“However, we have been informed that there will be no issue in obtaining DBKL’s approval,” SSP spokesman Syed Sheikh Al-Attas Syed Hassan told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.
Protesters are expected to gather at the Tabung Haji building on Jalan Tun Razak before marching to Padang Merbok. The planned checkpoints for the rally include the US embassy, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and the Renaissance Hotel.
SSP senior member Tian Chua said the rally has been endorsed by around 100 NGOs as well as political parties from both sides of the political divide.
Chua said that among those who have confirmed their attendance are Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir.
“I urge all Malaysians to put their differences aside and come and unite for Palestine,” he added.
In December last year, SSP held a six-day “blockade” rally on Jalan Tun Razak after being stopped by the police en route to the US embassy.
