KUALA LUMPUR -- Attempts to influence
the public to take part in the "901 Free Anwar Campaign" at the Kuala
Lumpur High Court next Monday could undermine the judiciary, said Deputy
Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar.
He urged the public not to be hoodwinked
by certain quarters who were out to take their problems to the streets
and cause upheaval in the country.
"The police found many banners put up in
public places and blog posts inciting the public to join the
demonstration in relation to the decision on Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy
trial, scheduled for that day.
"This is surprising as the court had yet to make its decision on the case," he said in the police Facebook posting.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief
Mohmad Salleh said so far the police received 168 reports against the
protest from non-governmental organisations, businesses, associations,
politicians and individuals from throughout the country.
"I call on leaders or organisers of the
campaign to call off their plan while bloggers to stop inciting the
people to join the protest as it will cause untold harm to the public,"
he said in a statement on Monday.
Mohmad warned the public against taking
part in the protest as it would be unlawful and threaten public order
and action would be taken against those involved.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur traffic chief
ACP Rusli Mohd Noor said the police would call for a news conference on
traffic management, including road closures ahead of the planned
protest.
He did not rule out the possibility that
major roads in the capital would be sealed off just like during the
Bersih rally in July last year.
