Student activists plan to lead thousands of protesters into downtown Kuala Lumpur for the TangkapMO1 rally today to pressure authorities to arrest "Malaysian Official 1", the mysterious figure whom the US Department of Justice claimed bagged US$731 million in stolen 1MDB funds.
From 2pm they plan will gather at two locations; the student activists at the Sogo shopping center, and supporters from political parties at Masjid Negara. They plan to march to Dataran Merdeka.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall has denied them permission to gather at the iconic square with preparations for the upcoming Merdeka celebrations ongoing, and police may take action as their notice to cops under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 is not valid without assent from the venue owner.
A similar rally, the TangkapNajib protest, ended prematurely last year when police pre-emptively arrested rally participants.
Today's protest looks to be an interesting affair, no less because organisers don't plan to allow anyone but students to give speeches.
Whether or not the memo reached former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is expected to turn up during the rally's peak, remains to be seen.
Malaysiakini brings you live updates as the rally unfolds.

There are no protesters in sight yet, although police, City Hall officers, and the media are on standby.
Some 200 meters away at Masjid Jamek, city dwellers are going about their business as usual, heading to popular shopping strips along Jalan Masjid India. There's no indication that traders are hunkering down in preparation for a protest.
A small crowd gathers at Sogo
1.10pm, SOGO: A busker performs in front of the mall attracting about 200 people. However, it is uncertain how many will join the rally later at 2pm.
A rally goer holds up a poster with caption "WANTED: Malaysian Official 1 Sapu USD3.5 billion", and quickly becomes the poster girl for the rally as media snaps pictures.
Next to her a person holds up a 'monkey' puppet. This triggers the ire of a passer by who tried to approach the duo. Several police officers prevents the angry man from approaching the girl and the puppeteer.
