PETALING JAYA : A pro-Malay rally in the city centre will proceed outside the Sogo shopping complex tomorrow, with 80 policemen deployed to monitor the gathering.
Dang Wangi police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman said the 'Himpunan Melayu Berdaulat' rally organisers had already notified them about the gathering and that everything was in order.
'The organisers will continue with the gathering and the police will facilitate the rally with reasonable controls.
'A total of 80 police personnel will be on duty around the location of the gathering to monitor the rally,' he said in a statement.
The rally is being organised by a coalition of pro-Malay NGOs to protest the government's alleged failure to look after the rights and interests of Malay-Muslims. Its chairman, Syed Hassan Syed Ali, is president of Malay rights group Perkasa.
Syed Hassan previously said that over 700 NGOs had confirmed their participation and the group was expecting up to 20,000 rallygoers.
