Police are warning the public against joining Bersih's march on Parliament this Tuesday.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Allaudeen Abdul Majid said there has been no notice filed to inform the authorities about the demonstration, as per the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA).
"As such, police advise the public not to join any rally that violates the law.
"Stern action will be taken according to existing laws," he said in a statement tonight.
Under the PAA, rally organisers must give police a five-day notice and failure to comply is punishable with a fine of up to RM10,000.
The Dewan Rakyat will begin debates and legislating on Tuesday after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's opening address on Monday.
Bersih plans to march to Parliament on Tuesday morning to submit a memorandum calling for reforms.
Among others, they want term limits for the prime minister, enhanced whistleblower protection, and a review of the Sedition Act. - Mkini
