SHAH ALAM: Police have approved and given a permit to the organisers of Himpunan Sejuta Umat (Himpun) to hold a gathering here against alleged proselytisation by Christians. OCPD Asst Comm Zahedi Ayop said they approved the permit last week as the Himpun event was to be held inside a stadium (Shah Alam Stadium) and would not pose any public order situation.
"We have taken into account all aspects of security and approved their application," he said.
He also said policemen would be stationed in and outside the stadium to ensure no untoward incidents occurred.
Although the event has been dubbed as "a gathering of one million faithfuls", the stadium's capacity is only about 80,000.
Meanwhile, PAS Youth has thrown in its support for the gathering.
Its chief Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi praised the organisers for holding the event.
tunku : it is a legal gathering at Shah Alam stadium. let us all join the gathering to show our support.
