A protest rally against Anwar Ibrahim to be held in Tambun today has not been approved, police said.

Police said the gathering to be held in front of the Tambun parliamentary constituency office tomorrow does not fulfil the conditions set under the Peaceful Assembly Act as the organisers have not received permission from the landowner as required.

The police advise the public not to join the gathering, as it is against the law. Stern action will be taken against those who join it,
 Ipoh police chief Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said in a statement last night.

The protest, labelled as 

Mahkamah Rakyat Hukum Anwar
 (the people’s court against Anwar), follows a demonstration last month by about 150 people dressed in black outside the prime minister’s official residence Seri Perdana in Putrajaya.
Rally organisers made eight demands for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, including the return of full diesel subsidies, allowing withdrawals from Employees Provident Funds accounts, and not restricting freedom of speech. - FMT
