Police to monitor Anti-Samy Vellu rally

(Bernama) – Police will monitor the Anti-Samy Vellu Movement (GAS) rally on Sunday although it has been issued a permit, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Wira Muhammad Sabtu Osman said.

He said even with the rally being held indoor, police personnel would be deployed to prevent untoward incidents. 

“We received a permit application for the rally and have given the approval because the event will be held indoor at Dewan Merdeka, Putra World Trade Centre. 

“We have been told that thousands of supporters will be taking part, so we will keep an eye on the event,” he told Bernama. 

He said this when asked to comment on MIC Youth deputy chief V. Mugilan’s application for a rally permit which was made at the Dang Wangi Police Station on Monday. 

The rally is to urge MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu to relinquish his post in July this year instead of 2011.
