Himpunan Hijau has vowed not to breach the cordon surrounding Dataran Merdeka, where the group had initially planned to spend the night.
Speaking to some 2,000 supporters at Markaz Tarbiyah PAS Taman Melewar, Himpunan Hijau's leader Wong Tack urge the group to act lawfully.
"Make sure we don't push the barricades... Make it very peaceful. Let it be a peaceful night tonight," he told the group before they continued their march towards the city centre.
Wong said that Dataran Merdeka was not the group's final destination and that they have made their point.
"What's more important is after today and what how we move forward in future.
"Everyone has heard us. So we don't have to be forceful. Be calm. No provocation," he said.
