KUALA LUMPUR: The police will call up all parties, including the organisers involved in the 'Keluar dan #Lawan' rally near Dataran Merdeka here, Saturday, for questioning, says Dang Wangi police chief ACP Mohamad Zainal Abdullah.
He said although the rally was peaceful, it was clearly against the rules, and a total of 400 participants had joined the rally.

"The rally was peaceful but the police will take follow-up action because it clearly violates Regulation 10 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (National Recovery Plan) 2021," he said in a press conference held at the Dang Wangi District Police Headquarters.
He said no one was allowed to assemble or engage in any gathering in any place, whether for religious, social, sports, wedding or cultural activities.
He said the participants were planning to assemble at Dataran Merdeka, so the police had prevented them from entering the area.
"Therefore, they held the rally outside the Dataran Merdeka area, and we gave them time to disperse," he said.
