Pakatan Rakyat said today it has received a guarantee from inspector-general of police Ismail Omar that the cops will merely take on a facilitatory role during its planned Jan 12 rally at Stadium Merdeka.
“The IGP said he wants this rally to be a historic moment where the police can learn from its past weaknesses.
“They (police) will strive to give their best service to ensure the rights of everyone according to law are respected,” said PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution after meeting the IGP this afternoon.
He added that the police had also informed that they will provide marshals who will guide media practitioners during the rally, based on provisions in the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu had at 2.30pm today led a delegation of 11 people, including Saifuddin, to meet Ismail at his office in Bukit Aman in the run-up to the rally.
