Cops prepare for possible demos by splinter groups although street rally is called off
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are gearing up to face possible street demonstrations by splinter groups on Saturday although Bersih 2.0 chairman Datuk S. Ambiga has called off the street rally.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said police were not taking any chances although Bersih had agreed to hold its rally inside a stadium.
“But we will ensure our preventive actions including roadblocks and redirecting traffic will not cause much inconvenience to motorists.
“I have instructed all the state police chiefs and district police chiefs to review their roadblock checks. They will only be carried out if totally necessary.
“Our priority is to ensure public order and the safety of every member of the public,” he said yesterday.
Khalid hoped the public would understand why the police needed to remain vigilant in the light of the discovery of Molotov cocktails and machetes in several locations in Gombak and the city centre two days ago.
Khalid also promised to expedite any permit application for the Bersih rally and warned that failure by the organisers to do so might result in stern police action against both the organisers and participants.
He also reminded those who planned to take part in the rally not to wear or have on them any paraphernalia related to Bersih.
He said to date, 3,256 police reports had been lodged nationwide against Bersih, 235 people have been arrested over various offences related to the rally and 29 charged in court.
Meanwhile, police recovered a bag containing four home-made shotguns in Petaling Jaya.
Police said the bag was found by a gym manager outside a shophouse in Taman Seri Manja yesterday.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said the shotguns were found in the bag, which was wrapped in a yellow canvas material.

If the splinter groups will still continue the street rally. This means that they are not splinter groups but the original groups from Bersih because I am sure even if Bersih 2.0 chairman Ambiga called off the street rally, the adamant supporters in PAS who don't know the heads and tails about Bersih or who Ambiga really is, will continue the street rally.
It's psychology 101. The more the government or the authorities said no, the more those imbeciles will want to do it.
For example, if parents said no to something that their child wants, the more the child wants it and will even defy the parents to get what he/she wants.
So, just give them stern warning of what the police will do if they still continues to go ahead with the illegal rally and take action even to hitting those hooligans with batons if they turned violent.
If they want to create chaos and go against the laws of this country, surely there are consequences and they should be brave to face up to the consequences if they still continue being pig-headed.
They are retards and maybe want to suffer the fate of those who died not as "syahid" but die as traitors of the country for waging war against the government who is led by Muslims.
