Bersih 2.0
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the police had acted fairly in not issuing any permit to hold rallies.
The Sultan of Selangor said mosques and surau should not be used as a meeting place by those who come from other places to join in the street demonstrations.
The Ruler told his subjects to also stay away from street protests, saying this would harm the unity of the people. However, Bersih 2.0, Umno Youth and Perkasa look set to press ahead with their plans.
Bersih 2.0 insisted that its supporters will gather at Stadium Merdeka while Umno Youth under its Patriot umbrella will march at Jalan Bukit Bintang.
Perkasa has told its members to “stroll” around Tasik Titiwangsa.

| Why is the Barisan Nasional government so paranoid of the word Bersih and yellow colour? asks a party leader. |
KOTA KINABALU: The word ‘Bersih’ (clean) will need some cleaning up after police found it inappropriate to be used on a signboard here.

Rally participants not creating havoc, it’s the police

| The federal government was wrong to backtrack on its promise to allow Bersih 2.0 to hold its rally in an indoor stadium, says Sabah politician Jeffrey Kitingan. |
