Rally organisers broke conditions despite no permit requirement: Police
Published on: Monday, June 23, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 23, 2025 By: Sherell Jeffrey Text Size: Jauteh during a press conference on Monday. - Pic by Rahim Matnin | Daily Express KOTA KINABALU: The organisers of the Gempur Rasuah Sabah 2.0 rally did not require a police permit but failed to comply with 15 conditions set by police under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012, said Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun. The student-led rally over the weekend drew six police reports, with three investigation papers opened involving nine offences including sedition and public endangerment. Jauteh clarified that police had only issued feedback - not approval -following the organisers' notification, as required under the law, and reiterated that no permit system is in place. Police investigations are ongoing, with statements being recorded and both rally organisers and a counter-group being probed for potential legal breaches. Jauteh advised students to consider alternative avenues to express concerns and emphasised that peaceful assemblies remain a constitutional right, even if organisers fail to notify police. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
