The police will investigate the protest calling for clean and fair campus elections today for alleged violations of the Public Assembly Act 2012, said Dang Wangi district police chief Zainuddin Ahmad.
“Yes, we will investigate because they have committed an offence. Firstly, they did not inform the police that they would organise the rally.
“Secondly, they have done a street protest by marching in an open space,” he told reporters when asked whether any further action would be taken against the students.
He was speaking to reporters when met near Dataran Merdeka after the rally.
Zainuddin also said that 80 police personnel were involved in supervising the peaceful protest.

90-minute march
The protest between 2.30pm to 4pm today involved at least 500 students marching from Masjid Jamek to Sogo Department Store through Dataran Merdeka, and then back to Dataran Merdeka.
Organisers claim that some 800 students had attended the rally, but some had joined along the way after waiting at Dataran Merdeka or at Sogo.
The police did not allow the students to enter Dataran Merdeka, but otherwise did not interfere with the rally and helped to direct traffic.
However, the police gave the students a stern warning that they would be committing the offence if they proceed with the rally just seconds after it began.
