KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Police on Tuesday advised the public to ignore a SMS going around urging people to gather in front of the Sri Kota building in Brickfields here Wednesday to protest the visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
City police chief Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman, in a statement here, said the SMS asked people to wear black or black armbands and gather at the venue at 10am.
"Police have not received any application from any parties to stage such a gathering and neither has any permit been issued for it.
"As such, the public is reminded that participating in the illegal gathering is an offence under Section 27 (5) of the Police Act 1967," he said.
Muhammad Sabtu added that the illegal gathering would disturb the peace, disrupt traffic flow and might also cause tension that could affect public order.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Manmohan Singh are scheduled to open "Little India" in Brickfields on Wednesday.
