PETALING JAYA: Police have warned the public not to take part in a protest over the rising cost of living tomorrow.

Dang Wangi police chief Noor Dellhan Yahaya said police had not been notified about the protest as required under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.


“The public are advised not to participate in the protest. Action will be taken against those involved,” he warned in a statement today.

Yesterday, a group calling itself Turun Malaysia said it would hold a protest over the rising cost of living outside Sogo in Kuala Lumpur.

It called on students and other young Malaysians to gather at the shopping complex by 2pm to make their voices heard over the hike in the prices of goods.

It said it would be demanding that ministers take pay cuts, subsidy measures be maintained, bigger cash aid given to the needy, and for the government to better control the price of goods and ensure there is enough food for everybody.

FMT has contacted the organisers for comment.
