KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says the decision whether to allow a public rally is with the police who know better about the situation.
Any non-governmental organisation (NGO) planning to hold a rally should apply for a permit from the police who would surely know what to do, he told reporters here today.
Abdullah who is Internal Security Minister was responding to a question on a plan by a group of NGOs that name themselves the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections to stage a rally at a stadium next month.
It will be the second rally staged by the group after the one on Nov 10 last year which was held illegally.
Asked on his views about the second rally, Abdullah who earlier chaired the Umno Supreme Council's first meeting for the year at the party's headquarters, said: "They always want to do many things... nothing else I want to say."
A day before the Nov 10 rally, he did advise the public to reject street demonstrations organised by the group because it was against the law.
tunku : as according to tv3 news last night, they organizers asked permit for the rally to be held in a stadium. i hope IGP or the PDRM will issue them a permit as the IGP had said earlier that police will allows rally held in a stadium and so did our TPM said.
