Deputy inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said today the police force is no longer interested in negotiating or discussing the three separate July 9 rallies planned by Bersih 2.0, Umno Youth or Perkasa.
According Malay daily Utusan Malaysia's online report today, Khalid also reiterated that those who intend to take part in the event should expect action against them under the Police Act.
His statement comes a day after Bersih 2.0 chief S Ambiga met with inspector-general of police Ismail Omar to ask the police to mark out the route for their march to hand over their memorandum on electoral reform to the King at Istana Negara.
The Bersih 2.0 organisers, who had hoped to meet with Ismail again next week, also sought police assistance to keep the event safe.
Umno Youth and Perkasa, which are planning counter-rallies on the same day, have also met with the police.
All three groups have said that they intend to keep their rallies peaceful.
