Police Willing To Consider Issuing Permit For Gathering

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22 (Bernama) -- Police are willing to reconsider the application by Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) for a permit to hold a gathering here on January 5.
The gathering which was to be held at Dataran Merdeka here tonight was cancelled by the organisers.
"We will review the application and issue a permit if we are certain it will not disturb the peace," Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zulkarnain Abd Rahman told Bernama.
Checks by Bernama found the square to be what it usually is on a Saturday night without signs of any illegal gathering taking place.
The GMI had wanted to hold the gathering to call for the abolishment of the Internal Security Act (ISA).

tunku : why don't these organizers apply permit to do the demonstration in stadiums? as police has said before if they apply to do it in a stadium, police will give them permit, so please do so. Don't go to the streets , it creates traffic jams, it disrupt businesses etc.you will still receive the publicity if you do it in a stadium, call all the local and foreign medias.
